San Francisco and Wichita lie on the same latitude. San Francisco has a moderate climate, while Wichita has an extreme climate. What is the reason for this difference in climate?

Respuesta :

The difference in climate is a result of the closeness to the ocean that San Francisco has, while Wichita is continental. The ocean currents transfer heat to San Francisco, resulting in a more moderate climate since water is better at absorbing heat than land is.
