Question

Refer to Figure 14.4 to answer these questions.
a. Thunder Bay and Marquette are both on the shore of Lake Superior,
yet Marquette gets much more snow than Thunder Bay. Why
is this the case?
b. Notice the narrow, north–south zone of relatively heavy snow east
of Pittsburgh and Charleston. This area is not affected by the Great
Lakes. Speculate on the likely reason for the higher snowfall here.
Does your answer explain the shape of this snowy area?
