Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The Midwestern United States, including states like Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, has a humid continental climate with cold winters and warm to hot summers.
Explanation:
Tropical cyclones intensify over warm ocean waters (typically above 26°C) because the warm water provides the energy (latent heat) needed to fuel the storm. Cold water, wind shear, and landfall weaken the cyclone.
Explanation:
