Is latitude or longitude more important in determining the type of biome in a given area?
The latitude is the measure of an areas distance from the sun while the longitude is the measure of the angular distance on earth's surface. The latitude measures the climate and therefore the type of biome in a given area.
What influence does latitude have on the annual cycle of daily insolation?
The latitude of any given area affects that area's climate because it dictates the intensity and duration of sun exposure. As the Earth orbits the Sun it also wobbles slightly on its axis. At some times the Northern hemisphere is closer to the sun than the Southern hemisphere and at some times it is further from it. When an area is closer to the sun the days are longer and the sun's rays are stronger. This heats the climate. This is the reason that places experience seasonal variation in temperature. Those locations close to the equator, however, exist in a nearly constant state of Summer because they always get relatively strong sunlight and have long days.
What are four factors that affect temperature?
Four factors that determine the climate of an area are distance from the sea, ocean currents, direction of prevailing winds, and the relief of the area. The proximity to the equator also plays a role in the climate of an area.
Explain what climate factor affects Vancouver's climate the most?
Coast Mountains & the Islands: Generally an area of heavy precipitation. Apart from a wet regime, mild temperatures and long frost-free periods are the rule.
How does latitude affects climate and vegetation?
Latitude affects climate and vegetation because latitude is how far or close you are to the equator. The closer to the equator the more sun the area receives.
How does the suns energy affects the climate of an area?
It affects how warm the atmosphere is.
Climate depends on such factors as an area's?
Elevation and latitude
Why the latitude of a region influences its climate?
he latitude of a region determines how much sunlight the area receives.
What is the only state in US that has area with a polar climate?
ALASKA
How does latitude affect the climate of various regions of the earth?
It affects the climate because the climate zone is determined by the line of latitude.
How does elevations affect climate?
The distance from the equator affects how much sun an area receives. Landforms can affect climate by blocking wind, rain, sun etc. Elevation height above sea level affects climate too. Proximity hearness to water affects the life of an area.
How does the suns energy affect the climate of the area?
It affects how warm the atmosphere is.
How does the suns energy affect the climate of an area?
It affects how warm the atmosphere is.
Is the climate type of a given area related to the prevailing winds?
it affects climate because it affects weather. it cools off the temprature. prevailing winds also move clouds which affects weather.
What are the three climate zone?
The three climate zones on earth are polar, temperate, and tropical.tropical moist area's,mountians,and snowy areas.
What is the best thing about the location of the countries in Southern Europe?
Perhaps their climate: Mediterranean climate. This climate has mild winters and hot summers, which is unique in that area of latitude.
