Answer:

B) Regions such as Labrador are actually colder than England because colder Arctic water flows down to eastern North America and warm water from the equator flows to England

Explanation:

Even though Labrador and England are roughly on the same latitude, the climates in these two places are very different. The reason for this is the influence of the ocean currents on the climate. Labrador is influenced by dry and cold ocean currents, bringing in very cold weather conditions and harsh cold winds, thus not providing conditions for the growth of palm trees. On the other side of the Atlantic, England is influenced by warm and wet ocean current, the Gulf Stream. This brings in relatively small fluctuations in the temperature, with both the summer and the winter being mild and without extreme temperatures. Also, it brings in a lot of precipitation, so the palm trees manage to survive with only slight adaptations.

Which of the following statements describes a defining characteristic of Canada’s territories?
skad [1K]
B. canadian territories are under a constitutional monarchy

However they are protected by a constitution and act as an independent nation with a head of government (the prime minister) taking care of actual governmental affairs. The queen does not have direct power in the same manner as the prime minister hence the division head of state vs head of government.
