Question 1018Navigation General
70% to passThe climate of the northern Gulf coast _______________.
The correct answer is A) The climate of the northern Gulf coast is a warm marine type of climate. The northern Gulf coast, which includes areas such as Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, has a warm marine climate. This type of climate is characterized by warm temperatures throughout the year, with average highs in the 80s Fahrenheit and average lows in the 60s. The proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and the moderating influence of the warm waters contribute to this warm, marine-like climate. The other options are incorrect. Option B is too broad, as the climate is not humid and subtropical throughout the year. Option C is too vague, as the climate does not simply "vary from warm to subtropical." Option D is incorrect, as the climate is not an "east coast marine type," but rather a warm marine type specific to the northern Gulf region.
