what are main factors that influence the distribution for temperature explain briefly
Answers
The latitude of the Place. The altitude of the Place. Distance From The Sea. The presence of warm and cold ocean Currents.
Some of the factors affecting the temperatures distribution are:
■ Latitude: The temperature of the surface water decreases from the equator towards the poles because the sun rays become more and more inclined and hence the amount of insolation minimizes poleward.
■ Unequal Distribution of Land And Water: The oceans in the northern hemisphere receive more heat because of their contact with the larger extent of land than the equivalent parts in the southern hemisphere.
■ Prevailing Winds: The winds blowing from the land towards the ocean drive surface water away from the coasts resulting in an upwelling, in which deep cold water rises into the surface.
■Ocean Current: Warm ocean current decreases the temperature in cold areas whereas the cold current decreases the temperature in the warm ocean. For example, in a gulf stream, a warmer current increases the temperature of the Eastern coast of North America and the west coast of Europe.
■Other factors affecting the temperature distribution are local weather conditions like storms and cyclones.
