What explains this large annual temperature range

Reference no: EM13256542

The following questions are based on the maps of average January sea-level temperatures and average July sea-level temperatures

1. Is the temperature contrast between the equator and the Arctic region greatest in the winter or summer?

2 (a) Were latitude the only control of temperatures, the isotherms would run straight across the maps from east to west. Describe one region of the world where this hypothetical isotherm pattern is actually observed.

(b) Why is the hypothetical pattern seen here?

3 (a) Is the influence of cool ocean currents on coastal temperatures more pronounced in summer or winter?

(b) Why?

4 (a) Comparing the January map with the July map, describe one region of the world that exhibits a large annual temperature range.

(b) What explains this large annual temperature range?

(d) What explains this small annual temperature range?
