Question 67 Deck General

The correct answer is D) lows which originate in the central and western USA. This is because the Great Lakes region is influenced by the movement of low-pressure systems, also known as cyclones, that typically form in the central and western United States and then track eastward towards the Great Lakes during the fall and winter months. These low-pressure systems bring moisture and unsettled weather patterns to the region, contributing to the high frequency of storms entering the Great Lakes Basin during the October through May period. The other answer choices are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the primary source of the storm systems that impact the Great Lakes region during this time of year.
