When does the southern hemisphere have the warmest climate?
The southern hemisphere generally experiences its warmest climate during its summer months, which are from December to February. Given its position in relation to the tilt of the Earth's axis, these months correspond to their summer season.
What continents have had tornadoes?
Tornadoes can occur on all continents except Antarctica. However, they are most commonly observed in North America, specifically in the United States. Other continents where tornadoes can occur include Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa.
Have continents always been in their current positions?
No, continents have not always been in their current positions. The movement of tectonic plates has resulted in the shifting and rearranging of continents over millions of years through a process known as plate tectonics. This movement continues to occur at a slow rate today.
Where did all continents fit together with the least number of overlaps and gags when the continents are matched along?
The theory of plate tectonics suggests that all continents were once part of a single supercontinent called Pangaea. Pangaea began to break apart about 175 million years ago, eventually forming the continents as we know them today. The least number of overlaps and gaps occur when matching the continents along the mid-Atlantic ridge, where the Atlantic Ocean is widening.
What do days seas and continents have in common?
Days, seas, and continents are all natural cycles or formations that occur on Earth. Days are the cycle of light and dark caused by the rotation of the Earth, seas are large bodies of saltwater that cover a significant portion of the Earth's surface, and continents are large land masses that make up the Earth's surface.
Why do hurricanes occur in summer?
The oceans water is warmest at that time, and therefore more likely to create a hurricane.
Why is the Indian ocean the most violent of oceans?
The Indian ocean is one of the warmest oceans and more hurricanes occur over warm seas, which makes the sea extremely violent.

Why do Atlantic hurricanes form from June 1 through November 30?
Because they are the warmest months of the year on coastal areas. Hurricanes form because of warm water. Hurricanes die out because of cold water, or cold temperatures. The temperature of the water on which the hurricane is occurring must be at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
What temperatures occur during a drought?
A drought is not categorized by the temperatures that occur but by the amount of annual rainfall.
What continents don't have earthquakes?
Earthquakes occur on all of the continents, even Antarctica.
Do tides only occur in the oceans?
Yes.
What are storms that occur over the oceans?
sunamis
Are storms that occur over the oceans?
sunamis
Do Divergent boundaries only occur on the ocean floor?
No. They can also occur on continents.
Do divergent plate boundaries only occur on the ocean floor?
No. They can also occur on continents.
Do volcanoes occur in oceans and earthquakes occur on land?
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
