For this discussion you need to pick 2 locations of your choice, anywhere in the world, only one can be on the west coast of the United States but it doesn’t have to. Tell us a bit about what locations you picked and why. Do a bit of research and tell us what the yearly temperature patterns are, and what are some of the factors that determine these patterns (ocean currents, atmospheric circulation, latitude, etc.). While I am not grading you on accuracy, I am looking for the concepts to be applied correctly, and for maximum credit I strongly suggest you use terminology from the course, especially from chapters 3, 4, and 5. 

For full credit you have to submit 1 post of about 200 words, and 2 responses, about 50 words each. Your responses should be thoughtful and add to, or acknowledge the original post that you are responding to, short answers such as “me too” or “I agree”. Missing posts will cost you 10 points, while missing responses will result in a 2.5 point deduction. Partial credit will be give to posts that are too short or lack relevant information. Your posts and responses are due on 05/01 at midnight.
