over continental areas?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The spherical shape of planet Earth hugely affects the temperature at different latitudes. Just because of Earth's spherical shape the regions of equators get intense sunlight than the regions of north and south poles. ... Polar zone gets less sunlight and hence these regions are colder then temperate and tropical zones.
2. There is a relationship between latitude and temperature around the world, as temperatures are typically warmer approaching the Equator and cooler approaching the Poles. There are variations, though, as other factors such as elevation, ocean currents, and precipitation affect climate patterns.
3. Isotherms are affected by the various air currents which circulate from the oceans into the land. Due to this reason, in january, the isotherms usually deviate to the north towards the continent.  It is the opposite in case of oceans, where it deviates towards the south. The deviation is brought about by the differences in temperature produced due to the oceanic air currents.
