25 risk of a major tsunami along the coast of british columbia and the adjacent area of the united states exists because the juan de fuca plate is subducting the north american plate. compare the risk here with the situation in the indian ocean.

The plates in the north American ocean are different than what the plates in the indian ocean is

Humid continental climate is found in the interior of continents between the 30 and 60 degrees latitude, but usually above the 40 degree line.   40 degrees north of the equator means less direct sunlight and therefore less warmth.   this climate is mainly found in the northern hemisphere since there are no major landmasses in the southern hemisphere.  if you live in northern indiana, you know all about humid continental because that is the climate type you have!
