Ben's family went to Virginia Beach, VA, for their summer vacation. Steve's family went to San Francisco, CA. They went at the same time. While Ben swam in the ocean every day, Steve stood on the shore shivering in the cold surf. Both cities are located about 37 degrees north latitude. Why was Ben able to swim comfortably while Steve could not

Answer:

Ben was able to swim comfortably because he was on a warmer part of the earth at that time and Steve was not.
