Answer: C.

Air masses that are hot and dry, and are responsible for heatwaves of summer in the western half of the United States.

Explanation: Air masses have fairly uniform temperature and moisture content in the horizontal direction (but not uniform in vertical). Air masses are characterized by their temperature and humidity properties. The properties of air masses are determined by the underlying surface properties where they originate.

Air that stands over the Caribbean Sea, for example, becomes a warm, humid maritime tropical air mass, while air that lies in the Arctic regions of northern Canada takes on the cold and dry characteristics of its surroundings and becomes a continental polar air mass.

Why is London, United Kingdom,farther north than Ottawa, Canada, yet it has a warmer climate than Ottawa?
Alisiya [41]

So there's actually two answers to this question.  The Gulf Stream is part of the reason why Britain is warmer, since it carries so much warm water, but the difference between a maritime and a continental climate is more important. At the latitudes of Canada and Britain, the prevailing winds are coming from the west. If you're in the east, the prevailing winds are gonna have to travel all the way across the ocean, which will lead to it being warmer in the winter, and colder in the summer.  If you've got thousands of miles of continent out to windward, your climate will be more extreme. If you're going across the entire ocean, it's gonna be more mild, and predictable. Continents just get hotter and colder than oceans, and this affects the temperature of the atmosphere passing over them.

State how hurricanes are predicted
andrezito [222]
Hurricanes are predicted using a Saffir-Simpson Scale. This scale is used to measure the intensity of hurricane most often than not. However, it may be used to identify a hurricane as well. A hurricane is categorised based on the wind speeds.  

74 - 95 mph --> category 1 
96 -110 mph --> category 2 
111 - 129 mph --> category 3 
130 - 156 mph --> category 4 
157 mph + --> category 5 

Typically, the formation of a hurricane occurs when moist warm air if absorbed from the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean and rises. The moisture will then evaporate further rising and heating until the moist air is twisted and circulation high in the atmosphere.
