Fairview and Washington are the same distance from the equator, and both cities are near the ocean. The air temperature in Fairv
iew is colder than the air temperature in Washington. What causes the air temperature in these places to be different? Explain what causes the difference as completely as you can.
Ocean currents are the continuous horizontal and vertical directional movement of sea water. The movement is as a result of some forces acting on the water. Forces like; gravity, wind and water density.
Fairview and Washington are both near the ocean and the air temperature in Fairview is colder than the air temperature in Washington due to the ocean currents and their movements. The ocean currents come from different directions and pass through the two cities. This makes the air temperature in both cities different.
