What Determines Climate? March 30, 2009 Sanders

Homework Questions Explain why the equator receives more sunlight than the poles do. How does the earth’s tilt effect climate? May 23, 2019 Sanders

What Determines Climate? Climate is determined by four factors. Latitude Air Circulation Ocean Currents Local Geography Latitude is most important. May 23, 2019 Sanders

Latitude Latitude is distance from the equator. The equator is 0o The North Pole is 90o Areas that receive a more direct ray, receive more solar energy. May 23, 2019 Sanders

Latitude May 23, 2019 Sanders

What determines climate? INcoming SOLar radATION The angle of insolation Duration of insolation. May 23, 2019 Sanders

Air Properties Which is heavier? Dry air or moist air? These density differences cause atmospheric circulation. May 23, 2019 Sanders

Atmospheric Circulation

Air Circulation

Ocean Circulation Patterns Water has a great capacity to hold heat. Areas near the coast have greater moderation of climate. Ocean currents movements are Wind driven Density driven May 23, 2019 Sanders

Altitude has Effect on Climate May 23, 2019 Sanders
