Question

Why do crops ripen quickly in Alaska? the days are long the days are short the climate is hot the climate is cold

Answer 1

Answer: the days are long

Explanation:

Alaska experiences some very unusual weather to say the least due to its position so far north of the equator. While some parts of Alaska can go months without seeing the sun, in growing season it is almost the opposite.

During growing season, Alaska experiences very long days with 17 hours of sunlight being in the norm in some areas. This much sunlight is beneficial to plants who take advantage of it and ripen faster so that even though growing season is short in Alaska, they are able to grow quite a significant amount of food.
