Hillsdale and Cordera are the same distance from the equator, and both are near the ocean. Is Cordera warmer, colder, or the same temperature as Hillsdale? Explain why as completely as you can.

Both places are expected to have the same temperature.

Explanation:

Been located the same distance from the equator means that both places are on the same latitude.

Places on the same latitude receive approximately the same intensity of solar radiation. Other factors like closeness to the sea can affect the temperature of a particular region, but in this case, it has been stated that they are both near the sea.

Other factors like elevation affect the temperature of a region but latitudinal position is approximated to elevation in most cases.

Therefore hillside and Cordera should have the same temperature.

Cordera can be warmer or colder than Hillsdale but can never be of the same temperature.

Explanation:

The reasons depend on the direction of the air current. And the position of the two cities to the equator. Because energy from the sun is transferred to Earth’s surface. Some of that energy is then transferred to the air above the surface. The closer a location is to the equator, the more energy it receives from the sun. Therefore, a location’s air temperature is affected by its distance from the equator. This is not the only cause for cooling.

Water moving from the equator is warmer than would be expected based on latitude, and so is warmer than the air it passes. Water moving from a pole is colder than would be

expected based on latitude and so is colder than the air it passes. Energy transfers from warmer substances to colder substances. Warmer air transfers energy to cooler currents and warmer currents transfer energy to cooler

air.

it is expected that Hillsdale and Cordera have nearly similar temperatures.

Explanation:

In the first place, it is important to note that there is an inverse relationship between latitude and temperature: temperatures are typically warmer near the Equator (lower latitudes) and cooler near the poles (higher latitudes). This phenomenon is due to the fact that the angle of solar radiation is smaller at higher latitudes, and thereby less solar radiation is received/absorbed near the poles than at the Equator. Moreover, another important factor that also determines the temperature is altitude: at higher altitudes, the temperature is lower. This phenomenon is due to the fact that at higher altitude air molecules spread out further, and therefore the temperature decreases. In consequence, at the sea level, the temperature is higher than at higher altitudes.
