Discussion
Match each temperature control with the pattern it produces.
List I
A. Latitude
B. Altitude
C. Continentality
D. Ocean currents
List II
1. a large annual range inland
2. a decrease in mean temperature towards the poles
3. anomalies warm or cold for the latitude
4. a decrease of about six degrees per kilometre
Answer: D
Correct answer: A-2, B-4, C-1, D-3
Four controls acting in different ways. Latitude sets the mean, falling towards the poles. Altitude imposes the lapse rate of about six degrees per kilometre. Continentality controls the range rather than the mean, widening it inland. And ocean currents produce anomalies - places warm or cold for their latitude, western Europe and the Labrador coast being the standard pair.
