The west coast of Scotland has a warmer and more stable climate than areas at equal latitudes but further inland. It is also much warmer than areas of equal latitude in Canada.

What can account for these temperature differences at equal latitudes?

Check all that apply.

a. The greenhouse effect is stronger in coastal regions than inland regions.

b. The North Atlantic drift results in a warmer climate for Europe relative to similar latitudes in Canada or Greenland.

c. The ocean's high specific heat has a moderating effect on coastal climates relative to inland regions of similar latitudes.

d. The areas of similar latitude in Canada are at lower elevation than those in Scotland.

e. Inland regions of Scotland lie within a rain shadow.

    Explanation:

    The climate of Scotland is a temperate and oceanic also and tends to change and is but not too extreme and is warmed by the gulf of Atlantic and has a warmer area relative to the same latitudes of the Greenland and the Canada. The oceans has a high specific heat that has a moderating influence in the coastal parts of the Scotland and this region is in a similar latitude. Parts of the Scotland can receive up to 250 cm of rainfall per year and eastern part of the England has a rain shadow effects formed of the Welsh mountains
