How does "lake effect" snow form?
A. Warm, humid maritime air masses (mT) collide with cold, dry continental air masses (cP) near bodies of water, causing rapid cooling and precipitation of snow in the mT air mass.
B. Cold, dry continental air masses (cP) pick up moisture as they pass over warmer lake water. When the air mass encounters colder land, the air cools off and causes precipitation of snow.
C. Warm, humid continental air masses (cT) collide with cold, dry continental air masses (cP) near bodies of water, causing the rapid cooling and precipitation of snow in the cT air mass.

In 2010, geologists working for the U.S. military operations in Afghanistan discovered a literal treasure trove of mineral deposits with a preliminary estimated value at nearly U.S. $1 trillion. So far, no proposals have been made for extracting these resources, but already parallels have been drawn to the many dimensions of human rights issues that have plagued coltan production in the Congo, oil drilling in Nigeria, and the "blood diamonds" of Sierra Leone. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) manages a program called the Mining Investment and Development for Afghanistan Sustainability (MIDAS) project, whose goal is to assist the Afghan government in responsibly developing the nation's mining industry.
