Factors That Affect Climate

Question 140340 • {HS} Earth and Space Science Sem. 1

Your family is in the early stages of planning a vacation. They are considering going to Miami, Denver, or Minneapolis. Miami is located at a lower latitude closer to the equator and has a low altitude. Denver has a high altitude and is located in a mountainous region. Minneapolis has a low altitude but is located at a higher latitude.Which vacation destination will have the warmest climate?

Answer
A
Miami
B
Denver
C
Minneapolis

Explanation

Places closer to the equator generally have warmer climates because they receive more direct sunlight. Miami is at a lower latitude than Minneapolis, and its low altitude avoids the cooling effect of Denver’s high elevation. Therefore, Miami is the warmest choice.
