Part 2: Geographic Temperature Factors In this part, we are going to look at three main factors that influence temperature: Latitude, Distance from water, and Altitude. We are going to look at how these three factors affect temperature by looking at the temperature difference between San Francisco, and three other locations: Vancouver Canada, Wichita Kansas, and Lake Tahoe California. The location along with their Latitude, Longitude, and Altitude are on the map below.
