Which of the following is not a major control on the global pattern of temperature?

a. land/ocean contrasts

b. altitude or elevation

c. longitude

d. latitude

c. longitude

Explanation:

Out of the factors that control the global distribution of temperature over the surface of the earth the latitudinal and altitudinal or elevation extends is quite important as a place over the equator and places over the poles experience a different type of temperature and climate of these regions is dominated by the pressure and wind cycles. Land and ocean distribution over the surface of the planet is a major factor that plays a key role in the distribution of heat budget as the earth has unequal heating and with results either by the rise of low and high-pressure difference over the northern and southern hemispheres. The longitudinal extent of the earth is shown by the lines running from north to south which is shown through the latitudinal extent of a place on the globe.

Iam pretty sure it is answer c. meep i hope you have a great day ^^
