Answer 2

Factor # 1. Latitude:

Due to the earth’s inclination, the mid-day sun is almost over­head within the tropics but the sun’s rays reach the earth at an angle outside the tropics. Temperature thus diminishes from equatorial regions to the poles.

Factor # 2. Altitude:

Since the atmosphere is mainly heated by conduction from the earth, it can be expected that places nearer to the earth’s surface are warmer than those higher up. Thus temperature decreases with increasing height above sea level.

Factor # 3. Continentality:

Land surfaces are heated more quickly than water surfaces, because of the higher specific heat of water. In other words, it requires only one-third as much energy to raise the temperature of a given volume of land by 1°F. as it does for an equal volume of water. This accounts for the warmer summers, colder winters and greater range of tem­perature of continental interiors as compared with maritime districts.
