Which air masses cause cold waves over the central and eastern United states?

The Arctic air masses that come from the Arctic region cause cold waves over the central and eastern United States. These air masses bring bitterly cold temperatures and can result in severe winter weather events such as snowstorms and blizzards.


Continental tropic air masses can be characterized by?

Continental Tropical air masses (cT) A continental tropical air mass forms in the interior of subtropical continents at about 15o to 35o north and south latitude. They are hot and dry air masses due to the temperature and moisture characteristics at their source region.


What two factors cause high latitudes to be colder than low latitudes?

High latitudes are colder than low latitudes primarily due to the angle of sunlight and the thickness of the atmosphere. At higher latitudes, sunlight strikes the Earth at a more oblique angle, spreading the energy over a larger area and reducing its intensity. Additionally, the atmosphere is thicker at low latitudes, which helps retain heat, while high latitudes experience more heat loss due to greater atmospheric thickness and less direct sunlight.


What are the seasons in the temperate grasslands and how long are each of them?

The hot summers cause the flora to be baked into a nice crisp golden brown, and in the winter the land freezes over and is carved by powerful winds that are able to gather terrific speed because of the vast open area grasslands provide. Im doing a project and so far that's all i know hope I help :D


What are the disadvantages of a plastic storage shed?

Plastic storage sheds can warp in the summer time heat as well as winter cold. Ice accumulation on the roof can cause it to become weak and fragile or even break.

Which latitudes have a hot summer a cold winter and moderate spring and fall?

Regions near the 30-45 degree latitudes typically experience hot summers, cold winters, and moderate spring and fall seasons. These latitudes are often influenced by the subtropical highs in summer and polar air masses in winter, resulting in distinct seasonal changes. Examples of regions in this range include parts of the United States, southern Europe, and East Asia.


Why is your cat losing hair?

cause they malt in summer and grow hair in winter


Do caribous eat more in the summer?

yes they do cause in the winter there food is buried


Why do you need more energy in the winter than the summer?

In the winter it's cold and you need energy to keep you warm and in the summer it's hot you don't need energy you let out energy when you sweat etc.


The air masses that cause occasional winter cold waves as far south as Florida are?

maritime tropical (M.T)


Are Auroras cause by light pollution?

No. Auroras are caused by streams of charged particles from the Sun, fired at the Earth by a coronal mass ejection; a massive solar flare. The charged particles interact with the Earth's magnetic field in the upper atmosphere and cause a glow. God's Own Neon Signs in the sky, you might think of it. Auroras are typically seen only at fairly high latitudes in the winter (because at high latitudes in the summer, the sky is too bright for auroras to be visible). However, a really big CME can cause auroras down to mid-latitudes, and in one extreme case, lit up the skies of Miami, Florida!


How are summer monsoons and winter monsoons alike?

Summer monsoons and winter monsoons are both driven by the temperature difference between land and water, which causes a change in wind direction and brings heavy rainfall to certain regions. Both types of monsoons are important for replenishing water resources and supporting agriculture in affected areas.


Why does it feel more humid during the summer than during the winter?

During the summer, warmer temperatures cause water to evaporate from oceans, lakes, and rivers, increasing humidity. In contrast, cold winter air can hold less moisture, leading to lower humidity levels. Summer also tends to have more rainfall, contributing to the overall humidity in the air.


Is the troposphere more dense in the summer or winter?

The troposphere is typically more dense in the winter due to colder temperatures causing air to contract and become denser. In the summer, warmer temperatures cause the air to expand and become less dense.


Why is the tilt of the earth cause for seasons on our planet?

Because of its axis we have four seasons winter,summer,spring,Autumn


Is it more likely to storm in the summer then the winter?

Yes. You have a constant pattern of cool and cold during the winter. During the summer, you have fluctuating temperatures that range from cool to extremely hot. That kind of change could cause a bunch of storms.


Why do floods normally occur during the summer at temperate latitudes?

Floods are the result of precipitation (rain), and rain is the result of sudden temperature or pressure changes in saturated humid air, that cause that air to lose it's ability to retain the water vapor entrained within it. In short, rain happens when warm, saturated air cools. Cool air can't hold as much water as warm air - that's why condensation forms on a cold glass in summer. Since there is warmer air (holding more water vapor) in the summer than in the winter, there is more precipitation in the summer than in the winter.
