Question
Explain why The climate of a harbour town is more temperate than that of a town in a desert at the same latitude.
Advertisements
Solution 1
A harbour town has a more temperate climate (i.e., without the extremes of heat or cold) than a town located in a desert at the same latitude. This is because the relative humidity in a harbour town is more than it is in a desert town.
Solution 2
The climate of a harbour town is more temperate (neither too hot nor too cool) due to formation of sea breeze at day time and land breeze at night time
