Poland has both maritime and continental climate because it has influences by both the warm sea air masses and by the colder drier continental air masses.

The northern part of Poland comes out on the Baltic Sea, which is connected through the Kottegat Bay and Skagerrak Strait with the North Sea and further with the Atlantic Ocean. Because of this connection, the influence from the warm and wet Gulf Current manages to get to the northern parts of Poland, but because it is significantly weaker, it only manages to influence that part of the country.

The interior of Poland, on the other hand, is much drier, and it is predominantly under the influence of the continental air masses, which in summer bring in dry and hot weather, while in winter it is very cold and snowy.

What will happen to the Earth’s surface if the tectonic plates moved faster than usual?
jok3333 [9.3K]

If the tectonic plates had higher rates of movement than what they currently do, then the surface of Earth would have been much different. The first noticeable difference would have that the average elevation would be higher than it is now. The reason for that will be that the erosion rates will remain as they are, while the orogenic processes will speed up, so there will be much faster formation of hills and mountains.

The climate would vary much faster on global level, as faster movement of the continents will contribute to fast changes in the ocean currents, and the global wind patterns, all that can have been impact on the relief.

Another thing would be the merging and breaking up of the continental masses, so a formation of a super-continent will occur, and with it lot of new land forms around the areas that are boundaries of the plates, but also that super-continent will break up quicker, so new continental masses will form quickly as well.

With the directions of movement of the tectonic plates as they are, if the rates of movement speed up, Australia will very soon merge with the southern islands of Southeast Asia, Africa (Nubian plate), North America, and Eurasia will merge, while the Somali plate of Africa will move into the Indian Ocean and close it up. South America will isolate itself from North America and move deeper into what is now the Pacific, while Antarctica will move gradually toward the Equator, all of which will make the world look much different, and with constant rise of new land forms and changes of the surface of out planet.

Why does it get dark at night?
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

During the day, daylight floods our environment every which way, with both immediate and reflected daylight coming to us from wherever we can see. Around evening time, the daylight doesn't flood the environment, as it's dull wherever in the sky that there isn't a state of light at, similar to a star, planet, or the Moon.
