All of the following increase the annual temperature range EXCEPT

  • A.distance from the ocean
  • B.a high latitude location
  • C.clear skies through the year
  • D.a maritime windward coast

Answer: D

Correct answer: a maritime windward coast

A windward coast has the ocean upwind, so its air arrives already moderated by water - that is precisely what reduces the annual range. The other three all widen it: distance from the ocean removes the moderating influence, high latitude increases the seasonal swing in insolation, and clear skies allow strong heating in summer and strong radiative loss in winter.
