Climate

What is Climate? Climate is the AVERAGE weather conditions in an area over a LONG period of time

What factors can affect the climate? Temperature & Precipitation Latitude (how far north or south of the equator) Global Wind Patterns Type of landforms (Land heats faster than water) Distance from the ocean Topography (Elevation above sea level)

Tropical Climate Zones

How are humans affecting the climate? Photosynthesis & Cell Respiration are generally balanced: 6CO2 + 6H2O  C6H12O6 + 6O2 (photo.) C6H12O6 + 6O2  6CO2 + 6H2O (resp.) Burning fossil fuels and other industrial processes upset the natural balance
