5. Despite similar latitudes, the climates of cities in the British isles are more moderate than similar Canadian cities. Which of the following best explains why?

A. A cold ocean current passes closer to Europe than to Canada

B. The British isles are more elevated than similar Canadian cities

C. The North Atlantic Drift brings warmer water closer to the coast of Europe than to Canada

D. Drier air masses pass over the British isles than Canada

The North Atlantic Drift brings warmer water closer to the coast of Europe than to Canada.

Explanation:

The British Isles are located on the same latitude as some parts of Canada, but when we think of the two, the British Isles are known for having a moderate climate while the same areas in Canada are known for their harsh and cold climate. The reason for this is the influence of the ocean currents but also the size of the territories of the two.

The British Isles are not large, and they are under the influence of the North Atlantic Drift, a warm ocean current that brings in a warmer and wetter climate, thus keeping the climate much warmer and much wetter than other parts of the world on the same latitude. The cities in Canada that are on the same latitude as the British Isles have a much harsher climate, with the temperatures being much lower and there is also less precipitation. The primary reason for this is that Canada's coastline on the Atlantic is influenced by the cold Labrador ocean current which brings in cold and dry weather. Big influence has the enormous size of the country, so the continental influence in the dominant one in the interior, thus making the climate conditions much more extreme.
