Climate Factors. Climate Average weather conditions of a region, or the weather patterns that occur over many years.
Convection Currents  An area of Earth’s surface is heated by the sun’s rays.  Air over heated surface expands and becomes less dense and the air pressure.
Wind. What causes wind? Differences in heat and pressure cause winds. Cold air is more dense and creates more pressure. Different parts of the Earth receive.

Specific Heat The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of a substance by one degree Celsius *The higher the specific heat, the slower the heating AND cooling of a substance (“more stubborn”)*

Sea Breeze During the day, land heats quicker than water - Warm air over land rises - Rising air cools (and may condense) - Cooled air moves back over ocean and sinks Ocean is cooler compared to land (cold source, aka heat sink)

Land Breeze During the night, land cools quicker than water - Warm air over water rises - Rising air cools (and may condense) - Cooled air moves back over land and sinks

Monsoons Seasonal wind changes Summer monsoon  land warmer so wind blows toward land Winter monsoon  ocean warmer so wind blows toward the ocean
