In geography, the temperature in a given location is affected by different factors, mainly latitude, altitude, pressure, the weather, and ocean currents.
- Pressure – d. Affects temperature, moisture, and storm tracks. Pressure and temperature are directly linked: when one increases, so does the other, and vice versa. If cold air (which is dense and dry) encounters warm air, the warmer air will rise to the top because density makes cold air heavier. The air pressure at the surface will fall. This newly-formed low pressure system creates winds and storms.
- Geographic position – b. Local topography helps predict temperature and precipitation. It depends whether you are on a mountain, in the North pole, in the ocean, etc.
- Oceans – d. Sea surface temperature influences air temperature and evaporation rates. Sea surface temperature is where the water's temperature meets the air's temperature. As a result of a high difference between the two (as explained in 1.), storms or variations in the atmosphere can happen. Besides, warm water makes surface air warmer, which increases the temperature in nearby land areas, and vice versa.
- Mountains – c. Thinner air less able to hold heat makes climate colder. At high altitude, the air is less dense, which means it can't absorb and retain heat very well.
- Latitude – a. Affects temperature by influencing the seasonal range of solar intensity. This geographic coordinate helps determine how far north or south a particular point is on the surface of the earth, with the equator and the poles as reference points. All latitude lines are therefore parallel to the equator, which has more solar intensity. The higher the latitude (i.e., the closer you get to the poles) the lower the temperature, and vice versa.
Answer:
I think it is W. Check if my answer is correct
Relative location isn't the exact location so they would have to be using their mental imagery of a map. For example, after you go to fro a place so many times, you will grow accustomed to it thus by using mental imagery of a map would be a good answer.
so developed it's the highest quality of life,next would be newly industrializing has the second quality of life next would be developing country,and the lowest quality of life would be least developed country correct me if I'm wrong hope it helps,I'll explain u later
At EVERY point on Earth . . . North of the equator, South of the equator, at the poles, or exactly ON the equator . . . the lengths of days and nights change with the seasons. (probably supposed to be <em>choice-3</em>)
