Latitudes closer to the equator are at lower elevations than latitudes away from the equator.

Latitudes closer to the equator receive more solar energy than latitudes away from the equator.

Latitudes closer to the equator are nearer to ocean currents than latitudes away from the equator.

Latitudes closer to the equator get more wind carrying energy in the form of heat than latitudes away from the equator.

Areas located near large bodies of water are warmer in the summer than areas that are located farther from large bodies of water.

Areas located near large bodies of water are colder in the winter than areas that are located farther from large bodies of water.

Extreme temperature changes take place in areas located near large bodies of water.

Areas located near large bodies of water have more moderate temperatures than areas located farther inland.
