Question

3 how does the cold canary ocean current affect the climate of adjacent countries in the western coast of africa
4 how does latitude influence rainfall, pressure systems and wind

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

For question 3, the cold Canary ocean current cools the air above it, reducing evaporation and leading to less - moisture in the air, often causing arid or semi - arid conditions in adjacent countries on the western coast of Africa. For question 4, latitude affects the angle of sunlight incidence. Near the equator, high temperatures lead to rising air, low pressure, and abundant rainfall. At higher latitudes, the sun's rays are more oblique, leading to lower temperatures, higher pressure in some areas, and different wind patterns.

Answer:

  1. The cold Canary ocean current cools the overlying air, reducing evaporation and moisture content, often resulting in arid or semi - arid climates in adjacent western African countries.
  2. Latitude influences the angle of sunlight incidence. Near the equator, high temperatures cause rising air, low pressure, and high rainfall. At higher latitudes, oblique sunlight leads to lower temperatures, different pressure systems, and wind patterns.
