Question

If Champaign, IL were to be relocated directly to the west so that it was now located along the west coast of the US right next to the Pacific Ocean, what would happen to Champaign's yearly temperature variations?

a. Champaign's temperature variation would become less with warmer winters and cooler summers.
b. Champaign's temperature variation would become greater with colder winters and hotter summers.
c. Champaign's year temperature variation would remain unchanged.
d. Champaign's temperature variation would only change if it changed altitude so moving it west would not have a significant impact.

Answer 1

Answer:

b. Campaign's temperature variation would become greater with colder winters and hotter summers.

Explanation:

• As the climate of the coastal locations in the Western U.S.A is cooler than the inland locations thus the places on the pacific ocean coast would experience more of a cooler climate with the hot summers and the cool winters and thus more temperatures variation than the interiors along the western coasts.
