Marine waters cover 70.8% of the earth’s surface. And, if we substract the 5.5% area of the continental shelf, 65.3% of the earth’s surface is occupied by continental slope and rise, and deep-sea parts (data after Dietrich and Kalle 1957). The deep sea can be subdivided into several topographical units. There are deep-sea grabens<span> (15 in number), which cut deeper than 6,000 m. Deep-sea grabens are restricted to tectonic active regions near the foot of continental slopes.</span>

how do location near the coast and prevailing wind patterns affect climate in the southern united states

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The southern part of the United States is heavily influenced by the sea/ocean and the wind patters that occur because of it. The warm waters that surround the region are making it more stable temperature-wise and the weather is warm and wet for big portions of the year. The precipitation is high as well. But this also brings in problems in the shape of the hurricanes, tornadoes, intense big rainstorms, and floods.
