Which type of extreme weather is more likely in the midwest of the usa than other parts of the world?
dem82 [27]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The fact that the Midwest is landlocked makes it difficult for flooding to happen on a mass scale. the Midwest is decently Northern in the United States, and it isn't very close to the equator, so it's unlikely that you're going to get a heatwave there. Like I mentioned earlier the Midwest is landlocked, and in order for a hurricane to happen, you need to not be landlocked, because a hurricane is a storm that forms over the ocean if you're landlocked you're not by an ocean, therefore, cannot have a hurricane. there's a region in the United States called Tornado Valley, which is a place that's really common for tornadoes, and it runs right through the Midwest. tornado Valley exists because of the fact that the Rocky Mountains have all of their wet weather-type stuff coming down onto the plains, which also have heat from the south Rising back up at them, and when those two things Clash it usually doesn't end well. therefore making it risky for tornadoes.

How does ocean currents affect the climate of a continent?
Aleks [24]
The world’s ocean is crucial to heating the planet. While land areas and the atmosphere absorb some sunlight, the majority of the sun’s radiation is absorbed by the ocean. Particularly in the tropical waters around the equator, the ocean acts a as massive, heat-retaining solar panel. Earth’s atmosphere also plays a part in this process, helping to retain heat that would otherwise quickly radiate into space after sunset.
The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation. Ocean water is constantly evaporating, increasing the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air to form rain and storms that are then carried by trade winds, often vast distances. In fact, almost all rain that falls on land starts off in the ocean. The tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption, and thus ocean evaporation, is highest in this area. Outside of Earth’s equatorial areas, weather patterns are driven largely by ocean currents. Currents are movements of ocean water in a continuous flow, created largely by surface winds but also partly by temperature and salinity gradients, Earth’s rotation, and tides (the gravitational effects of the sun and moon). Major current systems typically flow clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere, in circular patterns that often trace the coastlines. Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface. Without currents, regional temperatures would be more extreme—super hot at the equator and frigid toward the poles—and much less of Earth’s land would be habitable.

In general, the highest relative humidity is observed ___________ and the lowest relative humidity is observed _____________
nikdorinn [45]

In general, the highest relative humidity is observed NEAR SUNRISE and the lowest relative humidity is observed during MID-AFTERNOON.

Relative humidity is inversely proportional to temperature. The colder the climate, the higher the relative humidity. The hotter the temperatures outside, the lower the relative humidity.

Relative humidity increases as the air temperature falls at night and peaks at dawn.  

Temperature peaks during mid-afternoon, thus relative humidity is at its lowest.
