FACTORS AFFECTING CLIMATE LANDFORMS

Landforms Continents are always slowly moving (2.5 cm/year). 200 million years ago continents were together (Pangaea).

Pangea vs. Today Pangea Warmer since large continents were closer to equator. Today Cooler since the continents are spread out and land masses are closer to the poles. Watch This!!!

Mountains Create different climate zones. Rising air warmer and wetter. Falling air is cooler and drier. Watch This!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuvy4nLtWk4

Volcanoes Eruptions release large amounts of ash and dust into the atmosphere. Causes cloud formation.

Mount St. Helens (BBC) – 3:57 Mount St. Helens (USGS) - 7:30 Volcanoes Clouds and dust have a high albedo. Reflects sunlight and cools Earth for decades. Releases greenhouse gases. Mount St. Helens (BBC) – 3:57 Mount St. Helens (USGS) - 7:30
