In geography, the temperature in a given location is affected by different factors, mainly latitude, altitude, pressure, the weather, and ocean currents.

  1. Pressure – d. Affects temperature, moisture, and storm tracks. Pressure and temperature are directly linked: when one increases, so does the other, and vice versa. If cold air (which is dense and dry) encounters warm air, the warmer air will rise to the top because density makes cold air heavier. The air pressure at the surface will fall. This newly-formed low pressure system creates winds and storms.
  2. Geographic position – b. Local topography helps predict temperature and precipitation. It depends whether you are on a mountain, in the North pole, in the ocean, etc.
  3. Oceans – d. Sea surface temperature influences air temperature and evaporation rates. Sea surface temperature is where the water's temperature meets the air's temperature. As a result of a high difference between the two (as explained in 1.), storms or variations in the atmosphere can happen. Besides, warm water makes surface air warmer, which increases the temperature in nearby land areas, and vice versa.
  4. Mountains – c. Thinner air less able to hold heat makes climate colder. At high altitude, the air is less dense, which means it can't absorb and retain heat very well.
  5. Latitude – a. Affects temperature by influencing the seasonal range of solar intensity. This geographic coordinate helps determine how far north or south a particular point is on the surface of the earth, with the equator and the poles as reference points. All latitude lines are therefore parallel to the equator, which has more solar intensity. The higher the latitude (i.e., the closer you get to the poles) the lower the temperature, and vice versa.

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The moon has a higher maximum surface temperature compared to Earth (253 degrees of moon to 136 degrees of Earth), but this also depends on night (which is colder) or day (which is hotter).

If you look at the graph, you'll notice that the tides are far more extreme on day 5 and far less extreme on day 13. You need to realize that both the Sun and the Moon contribute to the tides with the moon causing about twice the effect of the sun. So on Day 5, both the Moon and Sun were in phase with each other and worked together to cause the rather extreme tide, while on the 13th, the Sun and the Moon were working at cross purpose and causes the relatively minor tides. With this information, let's now answer the questions.

What kind of tide occurred on Day 5?
These are several different names used for tides when both the Sun and Moon contribute. They are "spring tides" or "king tides". The names has nothing to due with the actual season of spring, but is simply a synonym for jump or leap. The diagram representing the Earth, Moon, and Sun for this kind of tide will have all three bodies arranged in a straight line. There are two possible arrangements for the bodies. They are Sun, Earth, Moon all in a straight line, or Sun, Moon, Earth. Either arrangement will result in a spring tide.
What kind of tide occurred on Day 13?This kind of tide occurs when the Sun partially cancels out the tide from the Moon. It is called a "neap tide" which means "without the power". The diagram of the Sun, Earth and Moon for this kind of tide has the three bodies arranged at right angles to each other. So draw a right angle with one leg being long and the other leg being short. Then at the intersection of the two lines, draw the Earth. At the end of the long leg away from the Earth will be the Sun, and at the end of the short leg away from the Earth will be the moon.
