Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

North central Asia, particularly the region of Siberia, experiences the greatest continentality due to its location deep within the Eurasian landmass and far from any moderating influence of surrounding bodies of water. This results in extreme temperature variations between summer and winter, with very cold winters and hot summers. Central Kansas and areas 200 kilometers inland from the Gulf of Mexico may also experience some degree of continentality, but not to the same extent as north central Asia. Tropical islands typically do not experience continentality due to their proximity to oceans, which helps to moderate temperatures.
