Climate

Factors that Control Climate When discussing the climate of an area, we typically focus on the temperature and precipitation of that area Temperature factors to consider include the following: How hot/cold it gets. When it gets hot and cold How long it stays cold/hot Precipitation factors to consider include the following: How much precipitation an area gets. What kind of precipitation an area gets How much evaporation happens in that area When precipitation falls in that area

Temperature and precipitation can be impacted by the following things. Latitude Nearness to center of large landmasses Nearness to large bodies of water Location relative to large mountain ranges Elevation Ocean Currents Nearness to centers of large landmasses Prevailing wind direction Nearness to large bodies of water Nearness to centers of large landmasses Elevation Location relative to large mountain ranges Latitude Ocean Currents Prevailing wind direction
