Which ocean current is responsible for keeping western Europe much warmer than its latitude suggests it should be?
Gulf Stream
What effects does the north Atlantic current has on western Europe?
The North Atlantic Current brings much warmer weather to Europe. This explains why Europe is some 15˚F warmer than areas of the same latitude.
Why is there a difference in climate between areas at 0 latitude and areas at 45 latitude?
The climate is cooler at 45 degrees latitude compared to 0 degrees latitude because the Sun is shining at a different angle. At 0 degrees latitude, the Sun is shining directly overhead, and thus it receives highly-concentrated sun rays which heat up the Earth rapidly. However, at 45 degrees latitude, the Sun is shining at a slanted angle, which makes the sun rays spread over a larger area and warming the Earth at a slower rate.
How does latitude effect climate?
Latitude affects climate by determining the angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth's surface. Areas closer to the equator receive more direct sunlight and therefore tend to be warmer, while areas closer to the poles receive sunlight at a more oblique angle, leading to cooler temperatures. This variation in sunlight intensity is a key factor in shaping global climate patterns.
How would the climate of a coastal city differ from that of a city at the same latitude locator farther in land?
The climate of an inland city would differ from that of a coastal city, even if located at the same latitude. The coastal climate is cooler and damper, while those inland are warmer and drier.
Is the Indian climate the same as others around it at the same latitude?
No, it's warmer
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.
If Japan is at the same latitude as California then why is ocean water there so much warmer than California water?
Its because Japan is humid, and humidity makes the water warmer.
How does north Atlantic drift affect the climate of europe?
The North Atlantic Drift brings warmer weather to Europe, especially Western Europe. Compared to areas of the same latitude, Western Europe is usually about 10-15 F warmer.
Is Missouri or Mississippi warmer?
Mississippi, because it is closer To the middle of earth. :-)
What are the two main factors in temperature?
Latitude and altitude. Latitude is how far north or south you are from the equator, the closer to the equator you are the warmer it is. Altitude is how high from the earth's surface you are, the higher up you are the colder it is.
Which ocean current is responsible for keeping western Europe much warmer than its latitude suggests it should be?
Gulf Stream
Why does England stay warmer in the winter than bostoneven though England is further north than Boston?
I
How London remains so warm compared to other places at its latitude in the context of the other two forms of heat transfer that aren't radiation?
The Gulf Stream comes up and keeps much of western Europe warmer than places at the same latitudes. London benefits from that, which is why it is warmer than places of a similar latitude.
Would a city at lower latitude have a higher average temperature than a city at higher latitude?
Yes. Since latitude is measured in degrees north or south of the Equator (0° latitude), the lower latitude numbers are closer to the tropics, while the higher ones are comparatively closer to the poles. Although it is not always true, locations at "lower" latitude numbers will generally be warmer than locations at "higher" numbers.
What effects does the north Atlantic current has on western Europe?
The North Atlantic Current brings much warmer weather to Europe. This explains why Europe is some 15˚F warmer than areas of the same latitude.
Which city is normally warmer Denver Colorado or Houston Texas and why?
Houston because of latitude, elevation and proximity to the sea (Gulf of Mexico).
