Assuming two cities are at the same latitude which would probably have the mild their climate one along the ocean cost or on farther Inland?
Assuming that two cities are at the same latitude, the coast would probably have the milder climate. Brazil has the largest land area in South America.
What is the climate like at the Grand Canyon?
Dry, and dusty at the top with low humidity, but towards the bottom along the Colorado River, it is cooler because you are in the shade, but also humid due to the River itself.
How does the pacific ocean affect the weather along the California coast?
The Japanese current carries cold water down from the north and causes the coastal climate to be cooler than the climate further inland since the prevailing west wind is cooled.
What line of latitude always receives direct sunlight and would be the hottest place on earth if only latitude were considered when determining climate?
There's no place on Earth that always receives direct sunlight. The closest to it would be the Equator, where the sun goes from overhead to 23 degrees one way to overhead to 23 degrees the other way and back to overhead, in the course of a year. And you're right ... if latitude were the only component of climate, then the hottest would be all along the equator.
What countries have a maritime climate?
Anoceanic climate (also called marine west coast climate and maritime climate) is the http://www.answers.com/topic/climate typically found along the west coasts at the middle latitudes of all the world's continents, and in southeastern http://www.answers.com/topic/Australia. Oceanic climates are characterized by a narrower annual range of http://www.answers.com/topic/temperature than are encountered in other places at a comparable latitude, and do not have the extremely dry summers of http://www.answers.com/topic/mediterranean-climate.

What did the earth's sufacelook like in the cretaceous period?
The climate of the Cretaceous was apparently fairly mild and uniform, but it is possible that toward the end of the period some variant zones of climate had appeared, making the overall climate cooler. Such changes, along with changes in both the earth's surface and its flora and fauna, brought the Mesozoic to a close.
What factor has a direct effect on precipitation and climate?
Latitude, elevation, proximity to the ocean, and the temperature of any ocean currents effect the temperature of a location. Temperature, in combination with landforms and distance from large bodies of water, effects humidity and precipitation. Temperature, humidity, and precipitation are the main aspects of climate, along with wind direction and seasons, which are effected by latitude and the other above factors.
