Question

a city along the coast of the atlantic ocean experiences a seasonal high of 76°f in the summer. the city experiences a seasonal low of 23°f in the winter. another city is 60 miles inland and at the same latitude and elevation. this city will probably experience ____ summer highs and ____ winter lows. a. warmer; cooler b. warmer; warmer c. cooler; cooler d. cooler; warmer

Explanation:

The ocean has a moderating effect on temperature (oceanic cities have more moderate temperatures). Inland areas, without this moderation, heat up more in summer (warmer highs) and cool down more in winter (cooler lows) compared to coastal cities at the same latitude/elevation. So the inland city will have warmer summer highs and cooler winter lows.

Answer:

A. warmer; cooler
