In the temperate desert what two factors cause the large change in temperature between day and night?
Itsanna123
The desert has little humidity and rarely is cloudy. These two factors allow the desert to heat up rapidly during the day and cool off quickly at night. In other biomes humidity and clouds act as a blanket which slows down heating and cooling.

∙ 9y agoThe desert is very dry and has no cloud cover or humidity to hold the heat. As soon as the sun sets, the heat begins to radiate back into space leaving the desert cool at night.

∙ 9y agoThere are few clouds and very low humidity to act as a blanket holding in the heat of the day. Therefore, heat quickly radiates back into space once the sun sets.

What are three differences between britains climate and equatorial climate?
The United Kingdom has a temperate climate. That means the weather is basically the same all year round, no drastic changes; it does not go from extreme freezing in the winter to blazing hot in the summer. A equatorial climate, is a tropical climate found by the equator. This climate is very humid and has lots of precipitation, and the change in temperature from summer to winter is not that drastic, the change in temperature from day to night is much more drastic. Here are three differences: 1. Temperate climate- usually colder than equatorial climate 2. Temperate climate found north of the Tropic of Cancer, south of Tropic of Capricorn; Equatorial climate found along equator. 3. Temperate climates are drier than equatorial climates.
What is the relationship between temperature and consumption of oxygen?
According to the gas law (V=nRT/P), a change in temperature will cause a direct change in volume.
What rule can you state about the relationship between phase changes and temperature?
As the temperature increases, the phases change from having the slowest amount of molecules to having the fastest amount of molecules (solid-liquid-gas)
State 3 factors that will determine linear expansion?
Linear expansion depends upon three factors: 1. Length of rod 2. Change in temperature 3. Nature of material of the rod.
What is the relationship between current and voltage in a thermistor?
V=IRR changes as a result of the change in temperature.

The Answer is B. Temperate
What pattern can you see between the serface temperature and the distance from the sun?
The surface temperature of the Earth is affected by many different factors. Although Earth's orbit alters the distance between the sun and Earth, the change in surface temperature is minimal compared to other factors. As evidence of this, consider the surface temperature at the poles, well below freezing at all times. Now compare this with the temperature in the tropics, where the temperature can be 60C higher than the poles. Consider also the change in temperature between night and day. Once again, there is a significant change in temperature with no significant change in distance from the sun. Factors such as cloud, wind and many other meteorological factors change the surface temperature more than the distance from the sun. However, we are able to say that the energy that reaches the Earth from the sun is reduced when Earth is further away from the sun. The amount of energy is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between sun and Earth.
What makes the speed of sound change?
There are some factors. Temperature, medium are that factors.
Does temperature change when changing the longitude?
Temperature does not typically change solely based on longitude. Temperature is primarily influenced by factors such as altitude, latitude, proximity to bodies of water or mountains, and prevailing wind patterns. While longitude can indirectly affect temperature through these factors, it is not a direct cause of temperature change.
