Question

Write one reason why the climate of the Central Plains of North America is extreme
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Climate in the region/area can be extreme. In the winters its cold, but in the summer it can be the hottest area in Texas. The average rainfall is 20 - 30 inches a year and during the spring there can be violent storms and tornadoes.

Answer 2

Answer:

Warmer winters are altering crop growth cycles and will require new agriculture and management practices as climate change impacts increase.

Projected increases in temperature and drought frequency will further stress the High Plains Aquifer, the primary water supply of the Great Plains.

Changes in water availability are likely to present challenges to agricultural irrigation and threaten key wetland habitats.

Older residents in rural areas and people living on Native American reservations are especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
