Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pattern of average July temperatures is influenced by both latitude and the presence of water and land. Latitude affects the amount of solar radiation received while the presence of water results in a less extreme temperature range compared to land. The specific patterns of cloud cover can also influence temperature, but this factor is less significant compared to latitude and water/land presence.
