Which single factor generally has the greatest effect on the climate of an area on the Earth's surface?
The water causes cooler summers and warmer winters.
water temperatures change more slowly than land temperatures do
Winds diverge and air sinks.
longitude and population density
Sinking air compresses and cools.
more slowly because water has a higher specific heat
converging and rising
the distance from the Equator
