Climate Continued!

After learning about the topography of this region, we are going to look at the climate and vegetation of this region.

The climate of the Interior Plains is a continental climate. This means the temperature of this region is affected by this region's location in the heart or center of the continent.

Since this region is in the center of the continent, it is far from the ocean. The ocean helps to keep a moderate climate. Without it, this region has a climate of extremes. It has long, hot summers and cold winters.

1a. Translate ocean into Chinese or Korean.
海洋

3. Find a picture of the Atlantic Ocean you like. Explain why you like it.in 3-5 sentences.
I should say the child is so happy! He is raising his thumb. The water is clean, it is colored in different blue color. Side near the shore is pure,no color;the further side turns deeper and deeper. The mountains are green,or is it an island?

4. Why would the Interior Plains region's climate be affected by the ocean. What does the ocean do for the climate? Explain in 5-8 sentences. Look at your past lesson.

The Interior plains are not affected by the ocean's wet weather. The area is dry.According to the http://projects.cbe.ab.ca/ict/2learn/kdwajda/canada/studentwork/plains.htm,Summers can be between 10ºC and 30ºC. Winters are cold. January can be between -10ºC and -30ºC. I guess it is because of no ocean. Water can make the temperature different, if there's no water, it will be hotter.

5. What continent is the Interior Plains region on? Explain in 3-5 sentences.

Interior Plains are located in Canada, and Canada is in the North America...So of course it is in North America.

    Try to write quality sentences and answer each question carefully. #6 needs to be carefully answered! Don't just guess!

    Good work.

    #6) The answer is found in one of your older lessons about the Interior Plains.

    It is found in the Yukon, Northwest Territories, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Sometimes, people make the mistake of calling the Plains the Prairie Provinces or just the Prairies.
