What best describes the European climate?
The climate of Europe is of a temperate, continental nature, with a maritime climate prevailing on the western coasts and a Mediterranean climate in the south. The climate is strongly conditioned by the Gulf Stream, which keeps mild air over the high latitude northwestern region over the winter months, especially in Ireland, the UK and coastal Norway. Whilst Western Europe has an oceanic climate, Eastern Europe has a drier, continental climate. Parts of the Central European plains have a hybrid oceanic/continental climate. Four seasons occur in Eastern Europe, while southern Europe experiences distinct wet season and dry seasons, with prevailing hot and dry conditions during the summer months.
Why does Western Europe experience less extreme climate variation than other parts of the world at similar northern latitudes?
Western Europe's moderate climate is influenced by the warming effects of the North Atlantic Current (part of the Gulf Stream), which brings warm waters from the Gulf of Mexico. This helps to moderate temperatures and create milder winters compared to other regions at similar latitudes. Additionally, the presence of mountain ranges like the Alps and the Pyrenees help to block cold air masses from moving into the region, further stabilizing the climate.
How the climate and topography of the southeastern US had a major impact before 1860?

The combination of fertile soil and ample rainfall made it ideal for plantations. The topography, with its rivers and coastal plains, allowed for easy transportation of goods, contributing to the region's economic prosperity before 1860.
