Question

Describe how and explain why the isotherm deviates from a true east-west trend where it crosses from the pacific ocean onto the continent

Answer 1

The coldest temperature in winter and the lavish temperatures in summer are found over the continents. The isotherm, while passing from continents to oceans; get distorted at their margins. In the eastern part of the North Atlantic, the isotherm shows a larger amount odd deviation toward north due to the combined effect of the warm ocean currents of the Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic Drift, and the southerly winds.
