Question

,L What is the rangeof the average January temperature for Brest? (Use"F or °C, whichever you are most familiar.) . What is the range of the average January temperature for St. John's? /3. So, what is the difference in temperatures between these two cities(that receive the same amount and length of radiation from the Sun)? 4. Notice how far north the warmer waters in January are found in the North Atlantic. What is the name of the current associated with these warmer ocean waters? (This current moderates the winter temperatures of northwestern Europe.) 5. A cold ocean curent in the South Atlantic is found off the west coast of which continent? 6. Examine the natural vegetation of the coastal region alongside that cold ocean current. What is found there? 7. What type of climate is found there?

Explanation / Answer

1. January month is the coolest month in Brest, France. Average January temperature for Brest is 6 (43° Fahrenheit).

2. January is on average the coolest month in st. John's. The average temperature for January month is 25(76° Fahrenheit)

3. Even though the two cities( Brest and St. John's) are coolest during January and also they receive same amount and radiation from the sun, the difference in average January temperatures is due to the only reason that.. January is the RAINY SEASON in Brest, France. There is more amount of rainfall and less radiation from sun during January. So the average temperature is relatively very low compared to st John's.

4. The name of the current in North Atlantic ocean associated with warm ocean water is NORTH ATLANTIC CURRENT. The most powerful and largest current in the North Atlantic current is GULF STREAM. Which usually carries warm water up the east coast.

5. BENGUELA CURRENT is the cold ocean current in the south flows to north along the west coast of South Africa. The Benguela current affects the south western coast of Africa and is COLD.

6. The natural vegetation of South Africa has incredible biodiversity due to some unique physical features. It is warmed by Indian ocean on the east and is cooled by BENGUELA CURRENT on the west coast which comes up from the Antarctic. These two different patterns of ocean helps the topography and vegetation of South Africa to create forests and subtropical savanna across the east coast. The biggest vegetation zone is Kalahari Savannah which consists of grasslands and trees.

7. The climate usually found in these areas where BENGUELA CURRENT hits the surface is HOT and DRY because of other warm AGULHAS CURRENT. And the geography of region is more of desert, so there is average of 300 days sunshine in this area.
