What are two climates that occur at any latitude?
Alpine or highland climates are cool to cold, usually dry climates that occur at very high elevations regardless of latitude, ranging from the near polar mountains of Alaska to the Andes and Kilimanjaro, which are equatorial.Deserts are areas that receive very little rainfall, and also occur from the poles to the Equator. Some deserts, such as Antarctica, are cold and polar, while others, like the Sahara, are hot and equatorial, while deserts such as the Gobi, Atacama, and Mojave occur at mid latitudes.
Could areas with different climates have the same weather explain?
yes they can
What type of current creates cooler climates in coastal areas?
gulf stream
Why does coastal water in areas with hotter water have drier climates than having higher climates salinity than coastal water in cooler more humid areas?
This is because less fresh water runs into the ocean in drier areas and because heat increases the evaporation rate.
According to Jared Diamond why did areas with similar climates to that of the Fertile Crescent develop agriculture before other areas?
Crops grown in the Fertile Crescent could be grown in these areas.
Is it true that all areas at high altitudes have cool climates no matter what their latitude?
Yes , in the troposphere , temperature decreases about 6.5 Celsius degrees for every 1- kilometer increases in altitude
Why will countries at high altitudes sometimes have cooler climates?
If they are in mountainous areas like the alps, yes. the higher it is the cooler the air
What two climates dominate Europe?
Europe is mainly temperate, however it is considerably warmer than areas at the same latitude, due to the Gulf stream.
How do latitude and altitude affect the plants that grow in an area?
Latitude and altitude affect the plants that grow in an area by affecting the temperatures there. The closer the latitude is to the poles, the colder the weather. The higher the altitude, the colder the weather. This means that plants that will grow in warm areas will not do well at higher latitudes or altitudes.
How come Europe does not have warmer climates?
Well you have to look at the latitude/position of Europe, look how far north it is! Europe is actually very warm for its location, compared to areas at the same latitude. The warm ocean currents bring warmer weather.
Which two areas in the US have tropical climates?
i believe that the tow areas in the us that have tropical climates are Arizona and CaliforniaHawaii, and the Gulf Coast/Florida areas.
Areas with climates have cold snowy winters and long hot summers are?
continental climates
What is the location of the tropical climates?
Tropical areas
What two areas share the same latitude?
The two areas that share the same latitude are land and sea.
What does an area latitude have to do with its climate?
The latitude of an area plays a significant role in determining its climate. Areas closer to the equator, which have lower latitudes, tend to have warmer climates as they receive more direct sunlight throughout the year. On the other hand, areas farther from the equator, with higher latitudes, experience cooler climates due to the angle at which sunlight reaches the Earth's surface.
