Inland Location
Our inland location is Northwest Iowa. The average high temperature is 61. The average low temperature is 41. Throughout the year, it is sunny and warm, and also during winter, it is cold and snowy. There is a wide range of climates in Iowa.
Costal Location
Our in land location is New Jersey. The average high temperature is 86. The average low temperature is 69. It is halfway between the north pole and the equator. Its weather includes hot, dry, wet, and cold airstreams. Temperatures along the coast are cooler because of the variety of air streams. It is usually warm along the coast.
Specific heat
Specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree celsius. If the specific heat of water is high, then the climate in that area must be cold because it is harder to raise the temperature of the water. The higher the specific heat, the colder the climate. The lower the specific heat, the warmer the temperature.
Summary
We learned a lot about different weather and climate in this lab. We learned that not every state has a main climate, but that they can have a variety of different climates. We also learned that even though a state might be by the ocean, it can still be cold sometimes. We also learned the average temperature of New Jersey. We also learned the average temperature of Iowa.
