Curiosity has a spectacular aura about
1. temperate continental
2. true (Denver is inland, NYC is coastal-water has a mediating effect on temperature)
3. B-air moving toward a mountain rises, cools, reaches its dew point and then rains on the Windward side of the mountain. That leaves dry air to move over the leeward side of the mountain.
4. from west to east- I feel that this question is confusing. If one considers that there are global wind belts, then the prevailing wind would be determined by the latitude of your location. The reason I picked west to east is because that is the direction is which weather tends to move in the USA. It is also the direction of the jet stream movement.
5. precipitation, humidity(especially in the Arctic)

True
False-weather is the day to day conditions while climate is the weather over an extended period of time,
True
