A Comparison of Climates T HIS map shows South America with its cities and countries placed just as far to the north of the Equator as they naturally lie to the south of it, in order to enable comparison at a glance of the climatic relationship between the United States and the South American markets. The effect is the same as if the map of the Western Hemisphere were folded together at the Equator and the impression of the South American part transferred upon the map of North America. The longitudinal position of every part of South America is thus correct. The map at first glance would lead one to say that Argentina has a range of cli mate equal to that from the City of Mexico to Hudson Bay, but the climate of South America can’t be judged that way. A cold ocean current along the West Coast and a warm one along the East Coast greatly modify it. The altitudes of parts of the continent within the tropical zone also tem per the heat. The extreme north of Argen tina is described as having the climate of Southern Florida. The mean annual tem perature at the very southermost part of Argentina is said to be about that of Maine with a minimum hardly lower than the moderate one of Puget Sound and a maxi mum no higher than that of Nova Scotia. All Argentina is said not to have the ex treme range of temperature found in the United States. Going to show how greatly ocean currents offset latitude, the islands of Great Britain are also drawn in on the map in their position relative to the Equator. London is farther north than the northermost spot in the United States ex clusive of Alaska. (Reprinted by permission of the editor of The Americas, published by the National City Bank of New York).
