The annual temperature ranges of Nome and St. Louis are approximately equal, but their yearly maximum and minimum temperatures are different, as seen in Figure 3. Which two temperature controls combine to explain these features? Explain your reasoning. **Average Monthly Temperature (Annual Temperature Range) of Seven U.S. Cities**The image presents a series of graphs, each depicting the average monthly temperature of seven different U.S. cities over a year. The cities are Norfolk, VA; St. Louis, MO; Oakland, CA; Nome, AK; Fairbanks, AK; and two locations in Kaua‘i, HI (Lihue and Kilauea). Each graph includes temperature ranges in both Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C) and is labeled with the months from January (J) to December (D) along the x-axis. The y-axis displays temperatures, ranging from -20°F (-29°C) to 80°F (27°C).**Norfolk, VA (36°55'N, 76°15'W)**- Elevation: 8m (26 ft.)- The average temperature ranges from about 30°F (-1°C) in the winter to 78°F (26°C) in the summer.**St. Louis, MO (38°39'N, 90°15'W)**- Elevation: 133m (535 ft.)- The average temperature ranges from about 25°F (-4°C) in the winter to 79°F (26°C) in the summer.**Oakland, CA (37°48'N, 122°16'W)**- Elevation: 2m (6 ft.)- The temperature remains relatively mild throughout the year, ranging from about 44°F (7°C) in winter to 70°F (21°C) in summer.**Nome, AK (64°30'N, 165°20'W)**- Elevation: 4m (13 ft.)- The temperature ranges from around -10°F (-23°C) in the winter to 55°F (13°C) in the summer, showing a more extreme range.**Fairbanks, AK (64°50'N, 147°48'W)**- Elevation: 29m (96 ft.)- The average temperature ranges from about -15°F (-26°C) in the winter to around 70°F (21°C) in the summer, exhibiting the widest temperature range.**Lihue, Kaua‘i, HI (21°59'N, 159°23'W) & Kilauea, Kaua‘i, HI (22°12'N, ### Locations of Selected U.S. CitiesThis educational map visualizes several notable U.S. cities, highlighting their geographical locations across the country. The cities marked on this map include:- **Oakland, CA**- **Nome, AK**- **Fairbanks, AK**- **Kilauea, HI**- **Lihue, HI**- **St. Louis, MO**- **Norfolk, VA**Each city is denoted with a red star and labeled with its corresponding name in red text. It's important to note that while the states of Alaska and Hawaii are geographically accurate in their relative positions to each other, they are not positioned correctly in comparison to the continental United States on this map. This adjustment is a common practice for ease of visual representation.**Key Points:**- **Oakland, CA** is located on the west coast of the United States within California.- **Nome, AK** and **Fairbanks, AK** are situated in Alaska, the northernmost state.- **Kilauea, HI** and **Lihue, HI** are positioned in Hawaii, located in the central Pacific Ocean.- **St. Louis, MO** is marked in the central part of the United States within Missouri.- **Norfolk, VA** is situated on the east coast within Virginia.This map serves as an educational tool to help understand the geographical distribution of specific cities across the United States.
