Question

c. explain why you chose the city or landform region you chose in the last column. how do you know it could be that city?

d. describe the differences between a maritime climate and continental climate and explain why that is:

Explanation:

Question C: Explain choice of city or landform region

This question refers to a previous table column not visible in the image. It asks for the reasoning behind choosing a specific city or landform region based on geographic data.

Question D: Compare maritime and continental climates

Using the Maritime Climate and Continental Climate knowledge points:

• Maritime Climate: Located near large bodies of water (like oceans). Water has a high specific heat capacity, meaning it heats up and cools down slowly. This moderates the temperature of nearby land, resulting in a small annual temperature range (cool summers, mild winters) and higher annual precipitation.
• Continental Climate: Located far inland, away from the moderating influence of large bodies of water. Land heats up and cools down quickly. This results in a large annual temperature range (hot summers, cold winters) and lower annual precipitation, with most of it occurring in the summer.

Answer:

Question C

Because the specific data table and the chosen city/landform region from the last column are not visible in the image, a definitive explanation cannot be provided. Generally, a city or landform region is identified by matching its climate data (such as temperature range and precipitation patterns) to the characteristic climate region or geographic features of that location.

Question D

• Maritime Climate: Occurs near large bodies of water (like oceans), which moderate temperatures. This leads to a small annual temperature range (mild winters and cool summers) and high annual precipitation (often over 1000 mm), mostly in winter.
• Continental Climate: Occurs far inland, away from the moderating influence of oceans. This leads to a large annual temperature range (very cold winters and hot summers) and lower annual precipitation (usually under 1000 mm), mostly in summer.
