click the blue words to correct the statement below.
on may 16, 2017, the weather in havana was influenced by an air mass that was warmer and had lower specific humidity than the air mass that influenced weather in coats island that day.

Explanation:

1. First, identify Havana's specific humidity from the map: it falls in the green range, corresponding to ~16-18 g/kg, associated with warm, tropical air.
2. Coats Island (near Hudson Bay, ~55°N, 80°W) is in the purple range, corresponding to ~2-4 g/kg, associated with cold, polar air.
3. Warmer air can hold more moisture, so Havana's air mass is warmer and has higher specific humidity than Coats Island's. The word "lower" is incorrect and needs correction.

Answer:

On May 16, 2017, the weather in Havana was influenced by an air mass that was warmer and had higher specific humidity than the air mass that influenced weather in Coats Island that day.
