What two words have to do with humidity?
Maritime and Continental

In 2011, Typhoon Nesat struck the Philippines and caused widespread flooding. After hitting the Philippines, Typhoon Nesat was predicted to hit the large city of Hanoi, Vietnam.
If Typhoon Nesat had continued along the same path, which development would most likely have reduced its strength before it hit Hanoi?
Cool water moving into the sea east of Hanoi

High Pressure
Sunshine and good weather

The illustration below shows the Gulf Stream carrying warm water up the east coast of America on its way to Western Europe. These warm equatorial surface currents are responsible for the moderate winter climates of certain countries such as France and Spain. Which of the following is most responsible for this occurrence?
The sun heats earth’s oceans causing convection currents to travel from the equator to the poles.

What type of weather does Maritime polar and Maritime tropical bring?
-polar - cool & humid
tropical- warm & humid

We know that to form a tropical cyclone we need warm air & warm water. Why would area 3 produce the most violent storm systems?
area 3 is on the equator region. which warms the air and water, that is needed to produce tropical cyclones. the warmer the water, the more powerful the storm system is.
