Question: Who was the first European in American to see the ocean that provides warm moist air over the Andes in the country containing Corzuela?

<P0-S0> frank bursley taylor (1860 – 1938) was an american geologist, the son of a lawyer in fort wayne, indiana. <P0-S1> he was a harvard dropout who studied privately financed in large part by his wealthy father. <P0-S2> he became a specialist in the glacial geology of the great lakes, and proposed to the geological society of america on december 29, 1908 that the continents moved on the earth's surface, that a shallow region in the atlantic marks where africa and south america were once joined, and that the collisions of continents could uplift mountains. <P0-S3> his ideas were based on his studies on mountain ranges as the andes, rockies, alps and himalayas, concluding that these mountains could have been formed only as a result of titanic lateral pressures that thrust the earth's surface upward. <SEP> <P1-S0> tropical and equatorial air masses are hot as they develop over lower latitudes. <P1-S1> those that develop over land (continental) are drier and hotter than those that develop over oceans, and travel poleward on the western periphery of the subtropical ridge. <P1-S2> maritime tropical air masses are sometimes referred to as trade air masses. <P1-S3> monsoon air masses are moist and unstable. <P1-S4> superior air masses are dry, and rarely reach the ground. <P1-S5> they normally reside over maritime tropical air masses, forming a warmer and drier layer over the more moderate moist air mass below, forming what is known as a trade wind inversion over the maritime tropical air mass. <P1-S6> continental polar air masses (cp) are air masses that are cold and dry due to their continental source region. <P1-S7> continental polar air masses that affect north america form over interior canada. <P1-S8> continental tropical air masses (ct) are a type of tropical air produced by the subtropical ridge over large areas of land and typically originate from low - latitude deserts such as the sahara desert in northern africa, which is the major source of these air masses. <P1-S9> other less important sources producing ct air masses are the arabian peninsula, the central arid / semi-arid part of australia and deserts lying in the southwestern united states. <P1-S10> continental tropical air masses are extremely hot and dry. <SEP> <P2-S0> Corzuela is a town in Chaco Province, Argentina. <P2-S1> It is the head town of the General Belgrano Department. <P2-S2> It was founded on April 30, 1917. <SEP> <P3-S0> Explorers flying the flag of Spain reached the New World beginning in 1492 with the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus. <P3-S1> Spanish expeditions colonized and explored vast areas in North and South America following the grants of the Pope (contained in the 1493 papal bull Inter caetera) and rights contained in the 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas and 1529 Treaty of Zaragoza. <P3-S2> These formal acts gave Spain the exclusive rights to colonize the entire Western Hemisphere (excluding eastern Brazil), including all of the west coast of North America. <P3-S3> In an act of enduring historical importance, Balboa claimed the Pacific Ocean for the Spanish Crown, as well as all adjoining land and islands. <P3-S4> The first European expedition to actually reach the west coast was led by the Spaniard Vasco Núñez de Balboa, who reached the Pacific coast of Panama in 1513. <P3-S5> This act gave Spain exclusive sovereignty and navigation rights over the entire west coast of North America. <SEP> <P4-S0> Although the centre and the eastern parts of the country are mostly flat, the west is mountainous. <P4-S1> Both the Andes and Sierras Pampeanas affect the climate of Argentina, leading to differences in temperature, pressure, and spatial distribution of precipitation depending on the topography and altitude. <P4-S2> Here, the Andes exert an important influence on the climate. <P4-S3> Thus, much of Argentina north of 40 S is dominated by wind circulation patterns from the South Atlantic High. <P4-S4> South of 40 S, the Andes are lower in altitude, allowing much of Patagonia to be dominated by westerly winds and air masses from the Pacific Ocean. <P4-S5> Owing to the higher altitudes of the Andes north of 40 S, they completely block the normal westerly flow, preventing low pressure systems containing moisture from the Pacific Ocean from coming in. <P4-S6> However, the north -- south orientation of the Andes creates a barrier for humid air masses originating from the Pacific Ocean. <P4-S7> This is because they force these air masses upwards, cooling adiabactically. <P4-S8> Most of the moisture is dropped on the Chilean side, causing abundant precipitation and cloudiness while on the Argentine side, the air warms adiabatically, causing it to become drier as it descends. <P4-S9> Thus, an extensive rain -- shadow is present in much of Patagonia, causing it to receive very little precipitation. <P4-S10> The Sierras Pampeanas influences the climate on a much smaller scale than the Andes.
