Question 7. Recall from your reading about air masses, and in your own words, explain what is creating the weather pattern in the this diagram. Your response should be at least 75-100 words in length. Please be specific and detail.

Question 8. Recall from your reading about thunderstorm basics to answer: Explain why thunderstorms are most common in the early afternoon and evening. Your response should be at least 75-100 words in length. Please be specific and detail.

Question 9. In your own words, explain how wind forms. What two factors cause winds to deviate? Your response should be at least 75-100 words in length. Please be specific and detail.

Question 10. Recall from your reading about air masses to answer: A warm front is predicted to come through your area tomorrow. What weather should you expect? Your response should be at least 75-100 words in length. Please be specific and detail.

Question 11. Discuss the major factors that influence the global distribution of precipitation. Give examples of desert regions and tropical regions and explain why these climates are found where they are.

Your response should be at least 200 words in length.

Question 12. The tornadoes that hit the southeastern US in April 2011 were devastating in terms of loss of human lives and destruction of infrastructure. Tornadoes are not uncommon in parts of the US, especially from April through June, but why was the system of tornadoes that hit the southeast so powerful that it has been called the "perfect storm" by some meteorologists? What factors do you think combined to make the recent southeastern tornadoes a "perfect storm" of destruction (hint: more than the usual suite of factors occurred)? Was this an unusual event or do tornadoes of this extent and intensity occur more often than we realize?

Your response should be at least 200 words in length.

Question 13. Describe a steering committee and explain the CIO's role with regard to it.

Your response should be at least 200 words in length.

I wrote so far:

A steering committee is a group of senior managers from the major business functions that works with the CIO to set the IS priorities and decide among major IS projects and alternatives. The steering committee serves an important communication function between IS and the users. In the steering committee, information systems personnel can discuss potential IS initiatives and directions with the user community. At the same time, the steering committee provides a forum for users to express their needs, frustrations, and other issues they have with the IS department.

Typically, the IS department sets up the steering committee's schedule and agenda and conducts the meetings. The CEO and other members of the executive staff determine the membership of the steering committee. 121 words, please continue on with it.

Question 14. Describe the major functions of the IS department.

Your response should be at least 200 words in length.

Information Systems is the investigation of a framework and how innovation can be consolidated into that framework to make it completely utilitarian and proficient. As organizations progressively digitize their operations and their items and administrations, an IT work includes recognizing the best innovation for new process or item advertising. A few territories of study in Information Systems incorporate framework examination and configuration, databases, programming building, organizing, human-focused figuring (HCC), wellbeing informatics, business insight, learning administration, security, venture administration, and choice sciences.

As of now, Information Systems are changing all parts of business. Understudies who study Management Information Systems (MIS) procure the learning and abilities expected to play a main part in this imaginative field and have various vocation opportunities. CM's educational programs is intended to create dexterous issue solvers ready to cover arranging, outline, execution, and administration of frameworks in an electronic and advanced world utilizing the most recent innovations. 150 words please continue on it.
