Geography

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.

You're walking on a beach and see a spit. Explain how a spit could have formed from a rocky headland
jek_recluse [69]

A spit  could form from a rocky headland where prevailing winds would blow at an angle to the rocky headland, gradually depositing sand and shingle at that place.

A spit is a permanent landform resulting from marine deposition and wind deposition. It is usually a long and narrow accumulation of sand or shingle with one joined to the land and the other end projecting at   a narrow angle out into the sea.

Salt marshes sometimes form on the sheltered side of a spit.

Which of the following is true about coastal breezes?
9966 [12]

Answer:

They can blow from one direction in the morning, and from the opposite direction in the evening, and they are caused from differences in temperature of the land and the ocean.

Explanation:

The coastal breezes are breezes that occur near the coastlines. The general rule for the direction of the wind implies here as well as in any other place in the world, the wind blows from an area with higher air pressure toward an area with lower air pressure. When it comes to the coastal regions, because they have two contrasting landscapes, the wind changes direction during the day.

The land and the water have different properties, with the land heating up much faster and cooling off much faster, while the water heats and cools off slowly. This leads to larger oscillations in the temperature on land and with it larger oscillations in air pressure, while the temperature oscillations in the water are small and with it, the air pressure has much lower oscillation. When the land heats up, the wind blows from the ocean toward land because the air pressure is higher above the water, but when the land is cooler, the wind blows from the land toward the ocean because the air pressure is higher above the land.
