Which air masses influence much of the weather in north america, especially east of the rocky mountains?

1 answer:

3 0

East of the Rocky Mountains is the so called Midwest region in North America. This vast region is mostly consisted of lowlands covered with grasses, and they are bordered with mountain ranges on both the east and the west, which prevents the maritime influence.

Because of this natural barriers, this region has mostly continental air masses influencing its climate. In the colder period of the year they are continental polar air masses, forming over Canada and moving southwards. In the warmer period of the year they are continental tropical, forming in the southern part of this region and moving northwards.

This type of air masses bring in very hot and dry summers, and very cold and snowy winters.

Answer:

b) the Pacific plate has carried the volcanoes away from the hot spot that formed them

Explanation:

The Hawaiian islands all have volcanic origin. Some are not active, while some still are. All of these islands have been active volcanoes at one point of time, and they have been created by a hot spot that lies beneath the Pacific plate. The hot spot has such a power that it actually manages to break through the central part of the plate where its crust is the strongest and densest. As the magma manages to come out above the water, it manages to create volcanic islands. The Pacific plate though is moving, it is not static, so it drags the volcanic islands away from the hot spot, causing their extinguishing. As those islands are moved away, the hot spot creates new volcanic islands, and the process constantly continuous, resulting in a volcanic island chain.
