What do you think?
Can we expect on the Earth at all places of
same latitude the same temperature and precipitation amount?
Why or why not?
One of the most important, factors which affect temperature, is latitude Because of this variation, latitude has a powerful influence in determining seasonal conditions and the annual patterns of environmental and climatic parameters such as precipitation and temperature. People studying our planet climate have found out, that the temperature and precipitation amounts differs at same latitude.
The size of a continent affects both the temperature range and the amount of moisture in the interior - the larger the continent, the larger the effect. Interior climates are defined as continental and windward coastal climates as marine. Because of the moderating effect of water, sites having marine climate are considered relatively mild.
In order to characterise the marine and continental climates it would be best to look at the climatic conditions at same latitudes.
