During the stage of internal combustion engine operation in which the piston rises and compresses the fuel in the combustion chamber, the intake and exhaust valves will both be closed. This means that the mixture of fuel and air are compressed, due to the seal around the combustion chamber that has been created by the closure of both of these valves. Hopefully that answered your question for you!

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!
