Question

1. which of the following does not cause colder temperatures?

a. close proximity to poles
b. high elevation
c. air moving from polar zone to temperate zone
d. inland location

Explanation:

• Option A: Areas close to poles receive less direct sunlight, leading to colder temperatures.
• Option B: Higher elevations have thinner air, which cannot hold as much heat, resulting in colder conditions.
• Option C: Air moving from polar (cold) to temperate zones would bring colder air, affecting temperatures.
• Option D: Inland locations can have a wide range of temperatures. They are not inherently colder compared to coastal areas in a general sense. Coastal areas have the moderating effect of water, but inland just means away from the coast, not necessarily cold.

Answer:

D. inland location
