Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mesoscale convective complexes (MCCs) are a type of thunderstorm system that typically develops in the central and eastern regions of the United States, including the Great Plains. The Great Plains region has a higher frequency of severe thunderstorms due to the combination of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cool, dry air from the Rockies. This creates an environment conducive to the development of MCCs, which can produce heavy rainfall, strong winds, and hail. The other regions listed (Pacific Northwest, New England, Gulf of Mexico) may also experience thunderstorms, but they are less likely to develop MCCs.
