Question

In what ways do coastal mountains affect a region’s climate? Select 3 correct choices.

1.They determine the way that large masses of cool, dry air move over land.
2.They control the amount of water vapor present in cool, dry air masses.
3.They increase precipitation on the windward sides of mountain ranges.
4.They force cool, moist air from oceans to rise as they move toward land.
5.They decrease precipitation totals on the leeward sides of mountain ranges.

Answer 1

3.They increase precipitation on the windward sides of mountain ranges.

4.They force cool, moist air from oceans to rise as they move toward land.

5.They decrease precipitation totals on the leeward sides of mountain ranges.

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature on mountains usually become colder with a corresponding higher altitude. The Mountains also tend to have more precipitation than areas without them.

This is because in the day the ocean becomes heated up. This leads to an increase in humidity of the air that is above the oceans in coastal areas. Due to the higher heat capacity of water compared to land ,the ocean always remains cooler when compared to the land. The lower density also allows the air on the land to be replaced by the ocean's cool air as the land's air increases.

They force cool, moist air from oceans to rise as they move toward land.They increase precipitation on the windward sides of mountain ranges.They decrease precipitation totals on the leeward sides of mountain ranges.

Answer 2

3)They increase precipitation on the windward sides of mountain ranges

4)They force cool, moist air from oceans to rise as they move toward land

5)They decrease precipitation totals on the leeward sides of mountain ranges.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the day, as the ocean becomes heated up, there is always an increase in humidity of the air that is above the oceans in coastal areas. But Because of the higher heat capacity of water compare to the land,the ocean always remain cooler compare to the land. But because of lower density,the air on the land is replaced by the ocean's cool air as the land's air increases.

Whenever a mountain inland come in contact with cool

air with humidity,the sir get more cool. However,. there result a condensation and precipitation of the water that is present in the air at the part of the mountain.
