Answer:
b. There is insufficient contrast in surface type (land vs. ocean) in the middle latitudes.
Explanation:
The sources of air masses can be produced or at very high latitudes because they can carry big amounts of air from the top of a mountain till the bottom by the differences of pressure and temperatures. This kind of air mass is called continental.
In the other hand, in a low latitude, the air coming from the sea, try to reach higher latitudes, again, by pressure and temperatures differences. These kind of air masses are called maritime.

Answer:
Apennines Mountain Range
Explanation:
Italy's landscape is dominated by one physical feature in most of the country, and that is the Apennines Mountain Range. This mountain range runs through the central part of the country, being parallel with the stretching of the western and eastern coastlines. Because it is the most marking feature in the peninsula, the peninsula got its name after it. The Apennines are very long mountain range for European standards, stretching for 1,200 km, from the Ligurian Alps in the northwest, to Reggio di Calabria in the southeast. This mountain range is divided into three parts, northern, central, and southern. The highest point of these mountains is 2,912 meters.
Answer:
Poor planning, and disease
Explanation:
The obstacles that the French faced while attempting to build a canal across Panama were diseases and poor planning. The French dealt with constant outbreaks of malaria and yellow fever, which slowed construction and caused the deaths of thousands of workers. The French also did not take into consideration the geographical differences between the Suez Canal region and the Panama region. The French had succeeded in building a canal at sea level in Egypt, and they mistakenly thought a similar design would work in Panama. However, the difference in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean sea levels, as well as the difference in elevation of the Panamanian terrain, prevented them from building a sea-level canal. The United States knew about these two problems when they undertook the project. They took preventative measures by reducing the disease-spreading mosquito population and using a canal-lock system to overcome the elevation obstacle in Panama.
The economy of Cuba is a planned economy in which most of the industries are owned and operated by the government. The economy of North Korea is a strict, dictatorial command economy which is planned centrally.
The public sector is the dominating sector in Cuba composing 76% of employment as of 2000 but has experienced a decrease in dominance from its contribution of 91% in 1981. The North Korean economy, on the other hand, is tightly operated by the government with restrictions on the free market. When the government hold in Cuba on its economy has started to decrease, there is no such change in North Korea.
1. Depends because earthquakes are caused by shifting of tectonic plates over one another but moving in general could be either. I would say true. 2. True.
