What would be the major weather patterns on this map?
I drew a little map of a continent, but there is one area that I'm not sure about; the climate. As for the location of this map, remove North America and replace it with this map. The northernmost land graces the fiftieth parallel, and the southernmost the twenty-fifth. As for the longitudinal lines, the land goes from the 125th to the left and 70th to the right.
I was wondering, what would the weather be like in this map?
Note - Assume north is up, with all the corresponding directions. The eastern mountains are like the Sierra Nevada, the western ones are like the Rocky Mountains, and the southeastern ones are like the Appalachians. The little ones on the island are more like really tall hills. (I cut off a tiny bit of the map, just assume that that is the whole continent.)
Another thing I forgot to say was what everything represents. I assume you can figure out rivers, lakes, and oceans, but the speckled part is a plateau, which I assumed would probably be a desert.
Because I forgot to say it, all other continents still exist except for the ones specifically mentioned. And I don't know the distances in miles, but I did give latitude and longitude lines, so I hope you can figure it out from there.
