Earth’s Climates and Vegetation Chapter 1 : Lesson 3

Climate The weather conditions in an area over a long period of time.

Temperate Neither very hot nor very cold.

Tropic An area on Earth at or near the equator.

Sea Breeze Wind blowing during daylight hours from cool water to warmer land.

Land Breeze A night wind blowing from cool land to warmer water.

Altitude Elevation, the distance above or below sea level.

Rain Shadow The dry area on the side of a mountain or mountain range.

Vegetation Plant life

Rain Forest A wetland with thick vegetation and tall trees that block the sunlight.

Arid Very dry with little rainfall.
