Explanation:

  • Gulf stream that forms the extension of the North Atlantic drift and is a warm ocean current that stretches through the tip of Florida and flows through the eastern coast of the United States and reaches the Newfoundlands before crossing the Atlantic ocean and is known to reach the Mexican gulf also.
  • At 40°0′N 30°0′W, it separated into two streams as a northern stream, the North Atlantic Drift, and hence influence the climates of the eastern coast of North America and the climates of western Europe.

In general, the highest relative humidity is observed ___________ and the lowest relative humidity is observed _____________
nikdorinn [45]

In general, the highest relative humidity is observed NEAR SUNRISE and the lowest relative humidity is observed during MID-AFTERNOON.

Relative humidity is inversely proportional to temperature. The colder the climate, the higher the relative humidity. The hotter the temperatures outside, the lower the relative humidity.

Relative humidity increases as the air temperature falls at night and peaks at dawn.  

Temperature peaks during mid-afternoon, thus relative humidity is at its lowest.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

<u>Longitude </u>measure the distance east to west of the prime meridian that runs through greenwich england. Degrees are denoted by the greek word lamba.

Explanation:

  • Longitude gives us an angular measurement from 0 to 180 degrees. Subdivided into 60 minutes and 60 seconds. As longitude is singular at the poles.
  • Earth's tectonic plates move relative to one another in different directions at the speed of 50 to 100mm per year so the movement sin tectonic plates influence the latitudinal rotation which changes from year to year.  
  • These vertical lines define the places on the earth with their approximate sea level surfaces. The longitudinal belt is the equator at the zero degrees largest longitude on earth.

What are 3 important influences in geography?
Sonbull [250]
One important influence is climate ie many Canadians, especially from the cold Prairies like to move to Vancouver, BC because the climate is so much milder in the winter due to the proximity of the Pacific Ocean. Another important influence is topography, so that if a country is mostly mountainous, the cost of road building will be more expensive than on, say the prairies or on the coastal desert of Peru and northern Chile. Another important influence of geography is the presence of fertile soil such as in El Salvador from the ash of the volcanoes to grow coffee in, or the fertile floodplain of the Nile River in Egypt.
