Question

Two cities are located at the same latitude (40°). City A is in the Southern Hemisphere and City B is in the Northern Hemisphere. Assume the two cities reflect the general characteristics of the hemispheres where they are located. Which city should have the largest annual temperature range?

Answer 1

Answer:

City B of Northern Hemisphere

Explanation:

The major difference between the southern and northern hemisphere is that the southern hemisphere has more water than land. In that case, water heats up and cools faster in Southern hemisphere.

Whereas, in the northern hemisphere there are more lands than water, therefore, land heats up and cool faster. Land absorbs heats faster and releases same faster.  90% of world population lives in the northern hemisphere

The only division between the Southern and Northern hemisphere is the equator.

Base of above explained, there are much temperature variations in the northern hemisphere than in the southern hemisphere, because of large landmass and physical variation of various land forms. Northern hemisphere experiences extreme climate

City B in the northern hemisphere will have largest annual temperaure.
