Answer:

C. A mass of air that is similar in temperature and humidity

Explanation:

An "air mass" refers to a big volume of air that is characterized by having similar or uniform "temperature" and "humidity"<em> (moisture).</em> They come from different source regions, thus they are classified accordingly.

The<em> "cold air masses"</em> come from the <u>polar area</u>s while the<em> "warm air masses"</em> come from the<u> tropical areas.</u> An air mass may cause a storm, for example, when an air mass moves to a new region and confronts another air mass there with a<em> different humidity and temperature</em>.

Which of the following was a cause of Americans moving west in the early to mid-1800s
Alexandra [31]

The correct answer is - Americans moved west in the 1800's because people wanted to get a fresh start and wanted to be able to buy their own land, as well as to try new economic possibilities, such as farming and gold mining.

In the 1800's the situation in the west started to stabilize and be much more attractive for people to move in. The problems with the native American populations were almost totally put under control so the safety issue was mostly resolved. Also the government had policies to give free land or for very small amount of money as to attract people to move there and thus have the demographic basis for implementing their rule more efficiently. For lots of people, mostly the ones from the lower class, this was seen as a golden opportunity and they used it as quick as possible.

Red pine trees are currently found growing in only the cool northernmost areas of the central and eastern United States. Climate
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

correct answer is option D (Red Pine distribution will shift northward into Canada)

Explanation:

Forest tree species are expected to endure significant population changes

in response to warmer temperatures across the United States.Red pine forests are negatively impacted  by extreme summer heat, especially those

that have not been thinned.  Red Pine species can be adapted to a wider range of climate, several subtropical and tropical pines, have a high degree of genetic variation and tolerate a wide range of climates. Performance in multi-site provenance trials shows that they are adapted well to a wide range of climates Thus they may also be able to adapt to new climatic conditions in their natural habitat.

Their are other factors which also influence red pine occurrence like soil conditions, plant competition. These factors are likely to be additional constraints for the present species distribution and future distribution shifts.

From these factors it is found that Red pine distribution will shift northward into Canada over the next 200 years.
