What are the factors that affect Britain's climate?(100-200 Words)
【正确答案】:Britain is an island country which lies between latitude50°to60°north.It lies farther north than even the northernmost part of Heilongjiang Provinee of China.Compared with other countries of the same latitudes it has a more moderate climate.This is influenced mainly by three factors:
(1)The surrounding waters tend to balance the seasonal differences by heating up the land in winter and cooling it off in summer.As the sea heats up and cools off relatively slowly it brings warm air in winter and cool air in summer.
(2)The prevailing southwest winds or the Westerlies (winds which come from the west) blow over the country all the year round,bringing warm and wet air in winter and keeping the temperatures moderate.
(3)The North Atlantic Drift,which is a warm current,passes the westem coast of the British Isles and warms them.P88
