If two places on the ground that are 25° 35'N and 25° 30'N are shown 8 cm a part on a given map, what is the scale of the map?​
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Explanation:Do you live in a city, or in a small town? Or do

you live on a farm or a ranch? Has your family

lived there a long time or a short time? How does

living where you do affect the way you live? For

example, do you need special clothes in the winter? Is your favorite food grown nearby, or is it

brought in from far away?

All these questions have to do with geography.

Geography is the study of our home—the earth—

and how our lives are affected by it. Almost every

detail of our lives is affected by geography. The

clothes we wear, the food we eat, the things we do

for fun, and the kinds of homes in which we live

are all connected to geography.

Why is London, United Kingdom,farther north than Ottawa, Canada, yet it has a warmer climate than Ottawa?
Alisiya [41]

So there's actually two answers to this question.  The Gulf Stream is part of the reason why Britain is warmer, since it carries so much warm water, but the difference between a maritime and a continental climate is more important. At the latitudes of Canada and Britain, the prevailing winds are coming from the west. If you're in the east, the prevailing winds are gonna have to travel all the way across the ocean, which will lead to it being warmer in the winter, and colder in the summer.  If you've got thousands of miles of continent out to windward, your climate will be more extreme. If you're going across the entire ocean, it's gonna be more mild, and predictable. Continents just get hotter and colder than oceans, and this affects the temperature of the atmosphere passing over them.
