How does latitude and relative location shape the climate of Europe? 2. How does the ocean impact the climate of Europe? 3. Why are people living in Moscow likely to have very high heating bills? 4. What trees are common in European areas near the Mediterranean Sea? 5. Why is the temperate grasslands region of Russia without many trees?
Understand the Problem
The questions are asking about geographical and climatic factors that influence Europe and Russia, including specific environmental and economic impacts on climate-related issues.
Answer
Europe's climate varies by latitude; ocean currents moderate it. Moscow's cold leads to high heating bills. Mediterranean trees: olives, cypresses. Russian grasslands lack trees due to low rainfall.
- Europe's latitude and relative location result in diverse climates ranging from temperate in the west to continental in the east. 2. The ocean, particularly the Gulf Stream, moderates Europe's climate, making it milder than similar latitudes elsewhere. 3. Moscow has cold winters requiring more heating. 4. Olive and cypress trees are common near the Mediterranean Sea. 5. The Russian temperate grasslands (steppe) have insufficient rainfall for many trees.

More Information
Latitude impacts solar radiation and temperature. The Gulf Stream significantly influences Europe's mild climate. Moscow requires extensive heating due to harsh winters. Mediterranean regions are characterized by drought-resistant tree species. Steppes have low precipitation, restricting tree growth.
Tips
Common mistakes include underestimating the influence of ocean currents or overlooking rainfall patterns in grassland biomes.
