Three Factors Affecting Climate

As latitude _increase_, the average annual temperature _decrease_. How does latitude affect climate? As latitude _increase_, the average annual temperature _decrease_. Temperature 0° Latitude 90°

As elevation _increase_, the average annual temperature _decrease_. How does elevation affect climate? As elevation _increase_, the average annual temperature _decrease_. Temperature Elevation

Along the Andes, the average temperature is lover than other parts of South America at the same latitude.

Water _moderates_ the temperature: _Cooler_ summers & _warmer_winters. How does closeness to a large body of water affect climate? Water _moderates_ the temperature: _Cooler_ summers & _warmer_winters. Cities A & B are located at the same latitude. City B is closer to a large body of water. Its temperature line is flatter (moderated).

During summer, temperature is strongly effected by closeness to water – cooler near the ocean and warmer in the interior areas away from water.
