List the similarities and the differences between continental and maritime climates? What causes these differences?
What will be an ideal response?
In general, continental climates have hot summers and cold winters; they exhibit stark temperature extremes; and there is often a distinct seasonality to precipitation patterns. Maritime climates are generally milder, with less temperature extremes. The cause is primarily due to the continentality of the former—these areas are located far beyond the moderating influences of the ocean.
