Question

List four factors affecting temperature​

Answer 1

1. Latitude: Locations closer to the equator experience higher temperatures since the sun is closest at this area and the rays are more direct.

2. Altitude: Temperatures tend to decrease with increasing elevation due to the decreased pressure and fewer air molecules at higher altitudes.

3. Cloud Cover: When clouds are present, they act as insulators by reducing the amount of radiation that reaches the ground and keeping temperatures cooler.

4. Ocean Currents: Variations in ocean currents can affect the coastal temperatures, particularly in humid climates. Warmer ocean currents can cause sea breezes to rise off the coast, creating cooler temperatures.

Answer 2

2. Height above sea level.

3. Distance from the sea.

3. Ocean currents.
