Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tropical islands are surrounded by water, which has a moderating effect on temperatures, resulting in less variation between day and night temperatures and less continentality. In contrast, central Nevada, north central Asia, and 200 kilometers inland from the Gulf of Mexico are all located far from large bodies of water and are subject to larger swings in temperature, making them more continental in nature.
