Question

2 why does hawaii have a cooler climate than other tropical locations? a its farther from the equator so it doesnt get as much direct sun b cool water from the california current flows to hawaii c it is too far away from the gulf stream to get the tropical air

Explanation:

• Option A: Hawaii is in the tropics, close to the equator, so this is incorrect.
• Option B: The California Current brings cool water, and Hawaii's climate is influenced by ocean currents, making this a valid reason for its cooler tropical climate.
• Option C: The Gulf Stream is in the Atlantic, far from Hawaii, so this is irrelevant.

Answer:

B. Cool water from the California Current flows to Hawaii
