Answer:

The correct answer is C. The majority of Americans live in semiarid and humid continental climate regions.

Explanation:

Due to the large size of the country, its length and a wide variety of geographical features in the United States, you can find areas with almost any climatic characteristics. Most of the United States (states north of 40º N) is located in the temperate zone; the subtropical climate prevails to the southern part of Texas, Hawaii, and southern Florida; and the north of Alaska belongs to the polar regions. The Great Plains west of the 100th meridian are classified as semi-deserts, the Great Basin and the areas around it are arid, and the coastal areas of California have a Mediterranean climate. The type of climate within the boundaries of one belt can vary significantly depending on the topography, proximity of the ocean and other factors. The favorable climate had a significant impact on the continent's settlement by Europeans and in many ways contributed to the United States taking a leading position in the world.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

The sun rays reach the earth's surface at an angle of 90 degrees at the equator which is direct and is short as compared to the poles it's long and about 66.5 degrees to the south and north. In the tropics its falls as 23.5 degrees in the northern and southern hemisphere.

The sun rays that form a tangent to the northern hemisphere are at 0, 23.5, 66.5 degrees i.e tropics, temperate and poles. And same is for the southern hemisphere.

On June 21 the southern hemisphere has winter seasons as the amount of insolation that reaches the southern side is less due to the tilt of the sun.

What is a bomb cyclone? And what impacts does it do?

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

A bomb cyclone is basically a storm that can rival the strength of a hurricane. They're called bomb cyclones or "weather bombs" because of the process that creates them (bombogenesis) basically bombogenesis is a storm that undergoes rapid strengthening.

The word bombogenesis comes from two words: bomb and cyclogenesis. All storms are cyclones and genesis means the creation or beginning and in this case bomb means explosive development so all together it means explosive storm strengthening

Bomb cyclones happen more in winter months and can carry hurricane force winds, cause coastal flooding and HEAVY snow. Bomb cyclones happen when a quickly forming storm results in a drop in atmospheric pressure of at least 24 millibars.

Basically its like a hurricane but stronger sometimes. The wind and flooding make it more like a hurricane but the blizzards and snow make it stronger
