Answer 1

Answer:

Temperature Distributions

Factors Affecting Temperature Distributions

2. Ocean Currents

3. Altitude

4. Geographic position

5. Cloud cover and albedo

Note the uneven distribution of land and water in the northern and southern hemisphere.

Vancouver and Winnipeg are at approximately the same latitude but have very different annual temperature patterns. Why?

The reason has to do with the influence of ocean currents and the effect water along the coast of Vancouver has on the atmosphere.

Look closely at the direction of current flow. Where are the warm currents and where are the cold currents?

This is a satellite image of the Gulf Stream. The red colors depict warmer temperatures and the blue represents cooler temperatures.

Now look at the diagram and compare the temperature of Myrtle Beach with Los Angeles. Both cities are at equivalent latititudes. However, Myrtle Beach has mean temperatures that are about 10 to 15o warmer than Los Angeles.
