137. The British Isles are approximately 2º farther north than Maine, yet Maine has a colder climate. Explain why the temperatures in the British Isles might be warmer than expected. 138. Death Valley has an average annual temperature of about 24ºC (76ºF), but its climate is not pleasant. Explain how this average can be misleading. 139. The sun rose at 6:57 A.M. and set at 5:39 P.M. one day in a coastal city. How many hours and minutes of daylight did the city have that day? Show your work. Below are climatograms of two different areas. 140. Identify the biome in which each climate can be found. 141. How can you tell if the region represented in a climatogram is in the Northern Hemisphere, the Southern Hemisphere, or near the equator? Use the climatograms above as examples. 142. Use the following terms to complete the concept map below: carbon dioxide, polar regions, greenhouse gases, interglacial periods, burning fossil fuels, glacial periods, deforestation.
