A. No fronts
B. Warm core
C. Cold core
D. Forms over warm water
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Extratropical cyclones are cold-core systems, meaning they are driven by temperature contrasts between air masses and are associated with fronts. They form over land or cold water.
Explanation:
The southeastern United States is influenced by tropical maritime air masses from the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean in summer, bringing warm, humid, and unstable weather with thunderstorms.
Explanation:
Longitude does not directly affect climate. The main factors affecting climate are latitude, altitude, distance from the sea (continentality), ocean currents, and wind patterns.
