2. Identify five factors that affect climate and explain how each affects climate.

4. How does latitude affect climate? As latitude ________, the average annual temperature _________. 0° Latitude 90° Temperature decreases increases

7. How does closeness to a large body of water affect climate? Water __________ the temperature. _______ summers. _______ winters. City B is closer to a large body of water. Its temperature line is flatter (moderated). moderates Cities A & B are located at the same latitude. CoolerWarmer

10. How does the Orographic Effect affect climate? Windward Side: ___________ Leeward Side: _____________ cool, moist warm, dry

12. Page 14 of the ESRTs We live in the troposphere. Temperature decreases with elevation.

13. How does elevation affect climate? As elevation _________, the average annual temperature __________. Elevation Temperature increases decreases

16. How do ocean currents affect climate? Warm Currents: warmer climate Cold Currents: cooler climate

17. Observation: predictable patterns of ecosystem distribution across Earth Plate 1

18. CLIMOGRAPHS One of the best and easiest ways to describe the climate is to use a climograph. Although a climograph does not provide complete climate information, it does portray two of the most important elements of climate -- precipitation and temperature.
