Which Factor Does Not Affect Temperature Variation Among Geographic Locations

Question

Which factor does not affect temperature variation among geographic locations?
A) latitude
B) proximity to water
C) elevation
D) longitude

Accepted Answer

Longitude does not affect temperature variation among geographic locations. Latitude affects temperature by determining how much direct sunlight an area receives, proximity to water affects temperature by moderating it through the heat capacity of water, and elevation affects temperature by creating cooler temperatures at higher elevations due to the decrease in air pressure.
