Answer:

D. taphrogenic

Explanation:

The plate divergence is an example of taphrogenic process. The taphrogenic process is a process in which the Earth's crust is getting stretched because of the tectonic activities, opening up gaps in the crust. Some of the formation we have because of this process are the divergent plate boundaries, rifts, and trenches. The plate divergence occurs because of the strong activity of the convection currents in the mantle layer. They manage to push magma through the crust, and as the magma is getting out it pushes the old crust away, while creating new crust in meantime.

Answer:

continental polar

Explanation:

The large air mass that is moving into the area is a continental polar one. As we can see on the map, the air mass is moving in from the northern part of North America toward the Central part of North America. It is an air mass that has been formed over land, thus it is a continental one, and since it has been formed on a very high latitude it is a polar one too. This type of air mass brings in very cold weather, often resulting in large amounts of snowfall as well, thus it is causing severe snow storms.
