Land surfaces heat more rapidly than water surfaces because
decrease along Australia and increase along South America
longitude
land has a lower specific heat
cooler than the land temperature
low in density so it rises, causing expansion and cooling
low air pressure and wet weather
As latitude increases, the average annual temperature decreases.
sea surface temperatures are warmer than normal and trade winds are from the west
During El Nino, the shift in trade winds causes sea levels to
decrease along Australia and increase along South America
