Which area (in the northern hemisphere) would you predict to experience the largest variation in temperature over the course of a day?

a forested, north-facing slope

a forested, south-facing slope

an exposed, north-facing slope

an exposed, south-facing slope

Explanation / Answer

I predict that an exposed, south-facing slope to experience the largest variation in temperature over the course of a day. Because in the northern hemisphere, the south facing slope will be more open to sunlight with warm winds, thus it will be warmer and dryer due to higher levels of evapotranspiration than a north facing slope.
