Question
chapter iii conceptual learning activity. prevailing winds, ocean currents help redistribute heat over the surface of the earth. for example, dakar, senegal, and cape town, south africa, are both located on the western coast of africa. judging by ocean currents alone, which of these two cities would you expect to be warmer? dakar cape town
Dakar is closer to the equator than Cape Town. Generally, regions closer to the equator receive more direct sunlight and tend to be warmer. Ocean - currents also play a role, but the latitude factor is significant here. The western coast of Africa has the Canary Current which is a cold - water current, but the equatorial proximity of Dakar still makes it warmer.
