Which describes nearly half of all storms that enter the Great Lakes Basin during the period from October through May?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Typical storm tracks affecting the Great Lakes between October–May • General movement of mid-latitude low-pressure systems across North America • Difference in weather impact between high-pressure (fair weather) and low-pressure (stormy) systems

💭 Think About

• Which type of system (high vs. low) is usually responsible for storms, especially with strong winds and precipitation? • From which broad source regions do most of the storm-producing systems that affect the Great Lakes tend to move: from the USA interior, or from Canadian high-pressure areas? • Think about the typical west-to-east movement of weather systems across the continent in the cool season. Which option best matches that track and type of system?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which option refers to a low-pressure system (storm system), not a high-pressure area • Check which option matches a common mid-latitude storm path toward the Great Lakes (moving generally from the west or southwest toward the Great Lakes) • Eliminate any options that describe systems usually associated with fair or clearing weather rather than storms
