All the above characteristics typify the Columbia Basin.
Step-by-step explanation:
Three distinct air masses contribute to shaping the characteristics of the climate of the Columbia Basin.
A) Marine air which is mostly humid originating from the west. This helps to dampen seasonal temperatures;
(2) Also originating from the east and south is the continental air, which is dry and cold during winter and hot in summer. Due to its ambivalent nature, during summer, it generates convective precipitation and lightning
(3) the Northern dry, arctic air brings chilled air to the basin during winter. During summer, it acts as a temperature moderator and helps to coss the air.
