PLEASE HELP LAST DAY FOR THIS
Describe patterns you observe in Earth’s surface temperature. How do these patterns change during the course of a year and from year to year? Use lines of latitude and degrees Celsius in your description.

Answer:

In this unit, we will be discussing Latitude as a climatic control. By latitude we are not talking about geographic location. Rather our interest will center on the effect of latitudinal location on the receipt of solar energy at the Earth's surface. To a degree the Greeks were on to the idea when they proposed their Torrid, Temperate and Frigid temperature zones over 2000 years ago.

02. Specifically in this section on Latitude, we are going to cover four topics:

Earth-Sun Relationships. This section will deal with the actual receipt of solar energy at the Earth's surface. The receipt of solar energy is directly related to the relationships which exist between the Earth and the Sun across the year. All of you would recognize the basic relationships. Each day we can see that the Sun "rises" in the east and sets in the west. Most would also recognize that over a 12 month period the Sun "moves" from north to south in our sky. In other words, the Sun not only "moves" from east to west, but also north to south. And how about the fact that days tend to get longer in the northern hemisphere from December 21 to June 21, and then grow shorter from June 21 to December 21? Earth-Sun relationships cause changes in the amount of insolation received day to day and seasonally. And, depending upon the relationship, the amount of insolation changes locationally and through time. The resultant temperatures created due to these changing relationships create pressure differences which are largely responsible for winds. The winds in turn drive the ocean currents and our weather.

Answer:

The following observations have been made about the Earth's surface temperature:

The global surface temperature, or Earth's surface temperature, has been steadily rising, with each year breaking the previous hottest day's record.

Global warming is one of the major reasons for this.

The temperature on the Earth's surface varies depending on various conditions such as the angle of the sun, distance from the sun, latitude, distance from the sea, altitude, ocean currents, and finally some other local aspects.

Because of positive feedbacks from ice retreat, high latitude regions (beyond the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn) warm faster than the average.
