Answer:

When discussing drought, one must have an understanding of aridity and the difference between the two. Aridity is defined, in meteorology and climatology, as "the degree to which a climate lacks effective, life-promoting moisture" (Glossary of Meteorology, American Meteorological Society). Drought is "a period of abnormally dry weather sufficiently long enough to cause a serious hydrological imbalance". Aridity is measured by comparing long-term average water supply (precipitation) to long-term average water demand (evapotranspiration). If demand is greater than supply, on average, then the climate is arid. Drought refers to the moisture balance that happens on a month-to-month (or more frequent) basis. If the water supply is less than water demand for a given month, then that month is abnormally dry; if there is a serious hydrological impact, then a drought is occurring that month. Aridity is permanent, while drought is temporary.

Middle america is made up of mid latitudes and central america which is an blank linking north and south merica
ehidna [41]

Middle America is an isthmus that connects North and South America.

Explanation:

Middle America, or more commonly referred to as Central America, is actually part of North America. It represents the southernmost part of the continent, but is often put as a separate region because of its shape which makes it distinct from the rest of the continent. In fact, it can be said that Middle America is an isthmus that is connecting the two large continental masses of North America and South America.

This region's northern boundary is still disputable, and it varies from author to author, though in general it is borders of Belize and Guatemala that are taken as the northernmost parts. On the south it is Colombia's border, on the east it is the Caribbean Sea, while on the west is the Pacific Ocean. As a region, because of the multiple tectonic plate boundaries, Middle America is geologically highly active, with volcanic and earthquake activities being relatively common.

The countries that comprise this region are:

  • Guatemala
  • Belize
  • El Salvador
  • Nicaragua
  • Honduras
  • Costa Rica
  • Panama

Most fish use fins when swimming, flying fish use pectoral fins for gliding, and frogfish use them for crawling.
