"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.

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

A. Global Positioning System (GPS)

Explanation:

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is the most accurate way to find your exact location, virtually anywhere on the planet, thanks for a large network of satellites orbiting the planet and providing location information.  That system is also complemented by the cellular towers if you're using a cell phone.

Aerial photography is great, but it will not tell you where you are.

Remote sensing is to gather information from a distance, not relevant to the question here.

The Geographic Information Systems are information systems to give information about the land matched with precise GPS information, used in mining for example, but it's not able to tell you where you are, it's to tell where a gold deposit is however.
