1. which of these latitudes would represent the location with the warmest climate
a.17.0743 N
b,23.9803 S **
c.54.3123 N
d.82.0001 s
2. all of the following are examples of topography except
a. rivers
b. clouds
c. waterfalls
d.. mountain rangers **
3. thermohaline currents are influenced by wind
a. true
b. false**
17,0743” N
1. The latitude that would represent the location with the warmest climate is option b, 23.9803° S.
2. The option that is not an example of topography is d, mountain rangers. The correct term should be "mountain ranges."
3. The statement that thermohaline currents are influenced by wind is false. Thermohaline currents are driven by differences in temperature and salinity, not wind.
To answer these questions:
1. Determine the location with the warmest climate among the given latitudes (a, b, c, d):
- Latitude measures how far north or south a location is from the equator.
- The closer a location is to the equator, the warmer the climate tends to be.
- Look for the latitude closest to the equator among the given options.
The correct answer is **b. 23.9803 S**. This latitude is closest to the equator and is in the southern hemisphere, where tropical regions and warmer climates are typically found.
2. Identify examples of topography among the given options (a, b, c, d):
- Topography refers to the physical features of a region, such as its landforms and terrain.
- Review the options and determine which ones are not related to physical features or landforms.
The correct answer is **b. clouds**. Rivers, waterfalls, and mountain ranges are examples of physical features or landforms, whereas clouds are atmospheric elements.
3. Determine if thermohaline currents are influenced by wind:
- Thermohaline currents are oceanic currents driven by differences in temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline) of water.
- Consider whether wind plays a role in the formation or movement of these currents.
The correct answer is **b. false**. Thermohaline currents are primarily influenced by differences in temperature and salinity, not wind. While wind can affect surface currents, it does not have a significant impact on the deeper thermohaline currents.
