Question

question 2 (multiple choice worth 3 points) look at the position of location 1, location 2, and location 3 in this picture. • location 1 • location 3 lake • location 2 which of these statements is most likely correct about the climate of the three locations? daily temperatures in location 2 would be more variable than location 3. daily temperatures in location 3 would be more variable than location 1. daily temperatures in location 2 would be more consistent than location 1 and location 3. daily temperatures in location 1 would be more consistent than location 2 and location 3.

Explanation:

Bodies of water (like the lake) moderate temperature, so Location 2 (near the lake) has more consistent temperatures. Location 1 is farther from the lake, so its temperatures are more variable. Thus, Location 2's temps are more consistent than Location 1 and 3 (assuming Location 3 is also far, but the option says Location 2 vs 1 and 3). Wait, the options: The second option is "Daily temperatures in Location 2 would be more consistent than Location 1 and Location 3." This makes sense because water has a high specific heat, stabilizing temperature. So this statement is correct.

Answer:

B. Daily temperatures in Location 2 would be more consistent than Location 1 and Location 3.
