Answer:
to shorten the shipping route from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean
Explanation:
<h2>Answer: Option D</h2><h2 />
Option A, "a large swirling, low-pressure system that forms over the warm Atlantic Ocean" is incorrect because tornadoes do not form over water. That would be a hurricane.
Option B, "a winter storm with wind speeds of at least 56 km/h and low visibility" Is incorrect because tornadoes do not form in cold weather. That would be a blizzard.
Oa boundary between two air masses of different density, moisture, or temperatureption C, "a violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground" is correct <u>because tornadoes are columns of air that rotate due to warm air and cold air colliding.</u> They usually occur during a thunderstorm.
Option D, "a boundary between two air masses of different density, moisture, or temperature" is incorrect because tornadoes are not based on air mass, density, moisture, or temperature. This would be a front.
Answer: The Earth is a closed system for matter
That is a list of all basic elemental materials on our planet. Because of gravity, matter (comprising all solids, liquids and gases) does not leave the system.
Middle America refers to the states to the south of the US and specifically Mexico, the states of Central America and Islands near Central America. Venezuela does not belong to those states; It is part of South America and it is quite far from the other areas, relative to the distance between them.
Due to two factors..
The first factor is the placement of Europe in relation to latitude lines.
Up north is bound to be more cold than most places down south near the Mediterranean sea. (Which is closer to the equator)
The second factor is the physical geography of the region. Ranging from mountain ranges like the Alps and the Urals to the flat planes of much of mid Europe. The weather interacts with these regions and determines the climates making up much of the continent. (Only takes a rudimentary understanding of basic earth science and geography to understand that.
