Question
Select the factors that affect the temperature of any area.
I. Ocean currents and wind
II. Vegetation
III. Topography
IV. Latitude
- Only I and II
- Only III and IV
- Only I, II, and III
- I, II, III, and IV
Hint:
- Temperature is associated with the heating of land and water.
The correct answer is: I, II, III, and IV
- Temperature is a quantity that reflects hot and cold in physical terms. It is a thermal energy manifestation, present in all matter, which is the cause of the heat occurrence, a flow of energy, when a body is in contact with a colder one. The temperature is determined using a thermometer.
- Each place's temperature is influenced by the following factors:
- The latitude of the location: The temperature of the location is determined by the sunlight obtained. since it is cooler when you are near to the equator, but it will be colder when you are closer to the arctic circles.
- The altitude of the place: By terrestrial radiation, the atmosphere is indirectly heated. Thus the locations adjacent to the sea-level report higher temperatures than the locations at higher elevations. With rising height, the temperature usually decreases. The rate of temperature reduction with height is referred to as the natural rate of lapse.
- Distance from the sea:The location of a place with respect to the sea is the key factor that determines the temperature. Compared to ground, the sea heats up slowly and slowly loses heat. The land heats up and quickly cools down. So, relative to the terrestrial floor, the difference in temperature above the sea is less. The areas near the sea come under the moderating effect of the temperature-regulating sea and land breezes.
- Topography has a significant influence on weather. Temperatures and precipitation are influenced by varied terrain. Temperatures generally decrease with height, thus the higher elevation regions tend to be cooler. However, in particular weather situations the temperatures can be cooler at the lower elevations.
- So all option 4 are correct
