The correct answer is - B. less rainfall and temperature swings between seasons.

The continental climates are under heavy influence of the continental air masses, which are warm and dry, or cold and dry. The influences of the sea are minimal and only in certain parts of the year.

These climate types experience the change of four seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, all of which have their own unique characteristics.

The spring and the autumn are mild, and are usually the periods when most of the precipitation occurs.

The summers are very hot and dry, while the winters are very cold and dry.

The temperatures from the summer and the winter may range up to 70 C degrees, with having 35 C degrees above zero in the summer, and 35 C degrees bellow zero in the winters. These climate types are mostly found deeper into the mainland of the continents.

You are at 35 N and 175 W; you move to a new location which is 40 south and 60 west of your present position. What are the coord

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The new coordinates are 5S and 125E

Explanation:

Addition of latitudes:

If they are in the same direction, you just have to add the values.

For example, 5N + 10N = 15N.

You have to be careful that we don't have any latitude higher than 90. So, if the result of your sum is higher than 90, we subtract 180 by the result, and the position is in the other hemisphere.

For example

60N + 40N = 100N

100N is larger than 90, so not possible

Subtracting and changing hemisphere

180 - 100N = 80S

When they are in opposite directions, you can just say that one hemisphere is the positive one, and the other is the negative.

In this problem, i am going to say that the North hemisphere is the positive one and the South the negative.

So, currently at 35N moving 40S. The new position is

$P = 35 - 40 = -5$

Since the result is negative, this just means that we are in the Southern Hemisphere, so 5S

Adittion of Longitudes:

They work just like the latitudes, the difference is that we don't have any longitude higher than 180. So, if we have a result higher than 180, we subtract 360 by this value and change the hemisphere.

In this problem.

175W + 60W = 235, higher than 180, so:

360 - 235 = 125E
