"1. moisture (water vapor) in the air near the surface
2.  instability - relatively large decrease of air temperature with height
3.  lift - some process (such as a front) that forces air to rise"

The air is dry during the summer and any moisture amount is increased in the afternoon as the temperature cools.

<u>Answer:</u>

The tornadoes in the USA occur mainly during the summer afternoons because the excess warming of ocean water in summer afternoons warms up the air right above the water and stimulates a cycle of vertical circulation of air resulting in the generation of a tornado.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • When the air near the ocean surface warms up, it becomes light and rises above the heavier packet of air.
  • This action happens in a continuous loop and eventually results in the generation of a tornado.

Approximately what percentage of energy in the u.s is provided by renewable energy resources A.5% B.9% C.15% D.25%
Nezavi [6.7K]

The correct answer is - B. 9%.

The United States, even though are one of the biggest investors in the development of usage of renewable energy, are still not very willing to use them as much and are mostly sticking to the nonrenewable energy resources. This is mainly due to the economic factor, and the United States are not a country that accepts any downfall in its economy, especially not if it doesn't have to. This also causes a lot of controversy because it is damaging the environment, and while lots of developed countries are focusing on the usage of the renewable energy resources, the United States refuse to do so even though they are one of the two biggest polluters in the world.
