<u>Question</u>
Benito is doing research on the effects of Florida's elevation on its climate. His notes include the following:
1. The average elevation of Florida is 30 m above sea level.
2. The highest point in Florida is Britton Hill, which is 105 m above sea level.
3. The change in temperature from 0 m to 1,000 m is 7 °C.
Explanation: The low elevation of the area suggests a warm temperature, The higher you go, the cooler it gets. Also Benito observed that the change in temperature from 0 m to 1,000 m is 7 °C. This shows that there a narrow range in the temperature across Florida.
In addition, Florida is a coastal area. Coastal areas experience mild climates with warm summers, cool but not harsh winters and lots of rainfall. The reason for the warm weather in coastal area is the difference in the time it takes the land and the sea to absorb heat. Air from the sea then cools the land during the day and at night, cool air flows to the sea.
