Question

What country has the greatest temperature difference between its northern and southern borders?

Answer 1

China has the maximum temperature difference between its northern and southern borders.

Explanation:

The temperature difference ranges to almost 86 F. The temperature of China is affected by polar and Pacific air masses which bring extreme cold weather to the north.

In the south, ocean air masses bring moist weather. In the north, the dry air masses lead to cold weather whereas in the south, the temperature remains stable almost all the year round with rainfall.

Answer 2

China

Further explanation

• China is the largest country in Asia which has the biggest temperature difference between its northern and southern borders. Temperatures generally decrease from south to north.
• In the north-eastern part of China, precisely in the city of Harbin, the lowest and highest average temperatures in the city were recorded at -2°F (or -19°C) in January and 73°F (or 23°C) in July.
• In cities located in the southern part of China, one of them is in the city of Guangzhou (or Canton), the lowest and highest average temperatures in the city were recorded at 57°F  (or 14°C) in January and 84°F (or 29°C) in July and August.
• The difference in average temperature between China's northern and southern borders is around 86°F (or 30°C).

China has five temperature zones as follows:

• Cold-Temperate Zone with representative city and areas: Harbin, north part of Heilongjiang Province, Inner Mongolia.
• Mid-Temperate Zone with representative cities and areas: Liaoning, Beijing, Urumqi, Hohhot, Lanzhou, northern Xinjiang, Inner  Mongolia.
• Warm-Temperate Zone with representative cities: Xi'an, Taiyuan, Shandong, Hebei Province, the Yellow River.
• Subtropical Zone with representative cities and areas: Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Macau, south of isotherm of Qinling Mountain-Huaihe River.
• Tropical Zone with representative cities and areas: Guangzhou, Haikou, Sanya, Hainan and Yunnan province, southern Taiwan.
• Plateau Climate Zone with representative city and areas: Lhasa and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

China's climate is very diverse because of the extraordinary differences in latitude, longitude, and altitude. In the far north is subarctic, and in the far south is tropical. The different capacities of heat-absorbing of continents and oceans cause monsoons to dominate the climate.

• During the summer: the East Asian Monsoons bring warm and moist air from the south and provide most of the annual precipitation.
• During the winter: the Siberian anticyclones predominate, bringing cold and relatively dry conditions.
