What best describes the influence of latitude on climate?

Latitude measures how far a place is from the equator. Thus the higher the latitude, the colder the climate in general, although other factors such as distance from the sea also have influence.


What 3 factors affect Mexico's climate?

Three factors that affect Mexico's climate are its diverse topography, which includes mountains, deserts, and coastlines; its proximity to ocean currents, such as the warm Gulf Stream and the cool California Current; and its latitude, which places it in the tropical region and influences temperature and precipitation patterns.


What is the difference between an equatorial climate and britain's climate?

Equatorial places are hot and wet throughout the year and the Britain has cool summers and mild winters. Equatorial Climate is found in places between latitudes 5^N and 5^S whereas the British climate is found between 50^N and 60^N. Prevailing winds do not blow in equatorial places but in the places which have British climate they blow from the south-west. ^= degree Note: All the answers are 100% sure and are approved by the London Boards. I am a student in St Mary's and these answers are used in most of the good schools.


What is used to locate places on earth's surface?

A Map, in one one of these different types of projections: Mercator, Gnomonic, and Polyconic. Mercator - Shows the whole world except for the poles. Gnomonic - A circle projection showing, most often, the poles but sometimes other small places of the earth. Polyconic - Made as if a cone of paper had been wrapped around the earth, often used for places in the middle latitudes, such as the United States.

Will places at the same latitude have the same climate?

Not necessarily. Elevation and distance to the coast also influences climate.


What places are affected by latitude?

Places near the equator receive more direct sunlight and have warmer temperatures, while places closer to the poles receive less direct sunlight and have colder temperatures. The amount of daylight also varies with latitude, leading to differences in the length of days and nights. Additionally, the climate and vegetation types change with latitude, influencing the ecosystems that can thrive in different regions.


Why is it colder in higher places than lower places?
