Which of the following factors would affect the weather patterns of a region?
a)latitude
b)altitude
c)near by bodies of water
d)all of these

D) All of those

Explanation:

You can use "LOWER Near water" to remember that factors which affect the weather patterns of a region.

Latitude. It tends to be hotter when closer to the equator.

Ocean currents. The temperature of the ocean can come from far away and affect the temperature of the air in a new location.

Wind and air mass. Air masses, blown by the wind, change the weather in an area depending on where it was formed.

Elevation, which is the same as altitude. It tends to be colder higher up.

Relief. When mountains block wind and precipitation on one side, making the other side have "relief" on the leeward side.

Near water. Temperature is more moderate because water does not change temperature as fast.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.

i would say
