Question

18 in what way can two regions at the same latitude experience contrasting climates?
the proximity to major cities
variations in elevation
differences in plant and animal life
distance from the equator

Explanation:

• Proximity to major cities affects urban heat islands but not a primary climatic control at same latitude.
• Elevation (altitude) changes temperature and climate (e.g., higher elevation = cooler, different climate).
• Plant/animal life is a result of climate, not a cause of differing climates at same latitude.
• Distance from Equator is latitude, so same latitude means same distance from Equator, so this is invalid.

So variations in elevation can cause different climates at same latitude.

Answer:

B. variations in elevation
