Which type of air mass have the greatest effect on weather in Florida?
Maritime tropical air masses have the greatest effect on weather in Florida. These warm, moist air masses originating from over the Gulf of Mexico or Atlantic Ocean bring high humidity and fuel thunderstorms and heavy rainfall in the state, especially during the summer months.
Where does the warm moist air originate?
Warm moist air often originates from tropical regions near the equator where the air is heated by the sun, leading to evaporation of water from oceans and land surfaces. This warm, moist air can then be transported by prevailing winds to other areas where it may contribute to weather patterns such as rain or storms.
Did Henry viii create the royal navy?
No. Technically, Alfred the Great 'started' an English navy and is credited as one of the fathers of the fleet (along with Henry V). However, because these impermanent navies came and went with war, they can't really be seen as precursors to the Royal Fleet. During the reign of the Tudors, a fundamental change occurred where monarchs actually maintained a group of ships in order to protect England from overseas invasion as well as to protect sea trade through the Channel.In my opinion, Henry VIII's contributions to the formation of the navy were impermanent (although the Navy is seen as a permanent institution after his reign) simply because the vast contributions he made were allowed to wither away under Edward VI and Mary I ('Bloody Mary'). But it is impossible to overlook Henry's contributions to later English naval supremacy. If you wanted to look at who 'started' the navy, I'd suggest researching Charles I and his 'ship-money' tax which allowed for the funding and maintenance of a proper navy. I'd also look at the navy's development during the English Civil War under Oliver Cromwell and the Parliamentarians. I'd use the beginning of the Tudor Dynasty and the ascension of Charles II to the throne as bookends to any further research you do in this area. It's generally accepted that by the time Charles II took the throne, the Royal Navy was a powerful institution and maritime force.Sources:Loades, David.
