Question 62 Deck General

The correct answer is D) Alberta lows. Storms that enter the Great Lakes Basin from the west and northwest at a peak in October are the products of pressure systems known as Alberta lows. These low-pressure systems originate in the Canadian province of Alberta and then move eastward, bringing significant storms and weather changes to the Great Lakes region. The peak occurrence of these Alberta lows in October is a well-known phenomenon in the meteorology of the Great Lakes area. The other options are incorrect because: A) Polar highs are high-pressure systems that originate from the Arctic region, not the source of the storms in question. B) Fata morgana is a type of mirage, not a pressure system. C) Northwesters are a specific type of wind pattern, not the overall weather system.
