Question

Which of the following factors would affect the weather patterns of a region? A. nearby bodies of water B. altitude C. latitude D. all of these

Answer 1

all of these

Step-by-step explanation:

Latitude, altitude, and nearby bodies of water can all affect the weather patterns of a region.

At latitudes closer to the equator, the rays of sunlight hit the Earth's surface directly. This causes the climate of the region to be warmer. At latitudes farther from the equator, rays of sunlight hit the Earth's surface at an angle with less intensity. This causes the climate of the region to be cooler.

At a given latitude, regions with higher altitudes will have cooler climates than regions with lower altitudes.

The climate of land that is near a large body of water will be milder than the climate of land that is farther from the water. That is, near water, the climate will be warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. This is because water absorbs and releases heat more slowly than land.

Answer 2

D, all of the above.

Bodies of water can make places cooler. As altitude increases the air becomes cooler. Depending on a place latitude the climate will be either warmer of cooler. All of these effect the weather of a place
