Why is it that London, England, is relatively warm even though it is located at the same high, cold latitude as Hudson Bay, Canada?
What will be an ideal response?
London, England, is close to the North Atlantic Ocean where a conveyor-belt circulation pattern brings warm water northward from the equator. This warm water radiates heat into the atmosphere, maintaining warmer air temperatures than would otherwise be expected at this latitude.
