Which factor is most likely responsible for the difference in climate between the two sides of the mountains in Washington? A. A low-pressure belt at around 60° N latitude B. The Gulf Stream, a warm current in the Atlantic Ocean C. Westerlies, global winds that blow west to east D. A high-pressure belt at around 30° N latitude

The answer is atmosphere. there are four spheres of the earth: 1. geosphere (from greek word 'geo' = ground), 2. hydrosphere (from greek word 'hydro' = water), 3. biosphere (from greek word 'bio' = life), and 4. atmosphere (from greek word 'atmo' = air). a magnetosphere is a region of space around astronomical objects controlled by the magnetic field of that object. through the process of elimination, since lightning is present in the air, it can be found in the atmosphere.
