Why do you think the temperatures at the same latitude in Greenland and Norway are so different?
Warm water from the Gulf Stream and North Atlantic current warm Norway while cold currents from the Arctic cool Greenland.
How do zones of latitude affect the climate?
It affects it by having different temperatures at different places
Why don't cities in the same hemisphere have similar temperatures?
The reason is because of Ocean/Surface Currents. The cities are in the same hemisphere, but they don't receive the same ocean current. Some ocean currents are warm, while some are cold.The Ocean/Surface Currents have an effect on the air temperatures, too. Another reason is because of latitude. When a city is at a higher latitude the air expands and makes the temperature colder ,while if the latitude is lower the air loses moisture and the temperature heats up.
Do areas of high latitude receive indirect rays from the sun and have cooler temperatures?
yes, high latitude áreas = cold temperatures low latitude áreas = warm temperatures
Why are summer temperatures along California coast cooler than coast of South Carolina?
Could be evaporation, ocean currents, latitude or altitude. In the end, you decide.
What affects temperatures on earth?
Its the latitude that affects the temperatures on the earth
In the tropical latitude's trade winds push currents where?
No
What is influenced by climate latitude altitude and currents?
fudge
London and Irkutsk are located at approximately the same latitude. What would help explain why London experiences a more moderate range of temperatures than does Irkutsk?
"Warm ocean currents influence London's climate."
Temperature is determined primarily by what?
latitude and altitude
What are the six major influences on climate?
latitude,elevation,ocean currents,wind currents,mountain barriers, and tilt of the earth
In addition to specific heat what causes the average temperatures of land and water at the same latitude to vary?
Land absorbs heat from the sun, ie radiant heat, more than water does, but in the absence of hot sunshine it cools more quickly. So inland areas heat more in summer but get colder in winter, whilst the oceans don't vary so much.
