Temperature
The sun’s rays that reach the earth are absorbed by land, water, and air, or reflected back into space.
Heat is trapped in our atmosphere by the Greenhouse Effect

Latitude
Most important factor
The farther away from the Equator the colder and drier it becomes.
Direct rays of the sun are always between the Tropics.
Areas outside the Tropics receive indirect sun rays.

Air Masses
In the northern hemisphere, cold air from the polar regions come from the north.
Hot air from the Tropics comes from the south.
The opposite occurs in the southern hemisphere.

16. WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY
Continentality
Water moderates climate because water takes longer to heat and cool than land.
Areas inland from the coast will be hotter in the summer and colder in the winter than areas with the same latitude on the coast.
Mongolia…continental climate

Elevation
Temperature drops as you rise in elevation. It decreases 3.5o F for every 1,000 ft increase in elevation.
If a mount peak is 10,000 ft, and the base is 75o F. What is the temperature at the peak?

Mountain Barriers
Mountains can stop storms and air masses. Wind containing moisture hits the windward side of a mountain, and precipitation occurs. Windward sides of mountains have lush vegetation.
After the precipitation occurs, the clouds have no moisture and are able to rise over the mountain.
The Leeward side is then arid and receives the rain shadow effect. Deserts are often found on the leeward side of mountains.

Ocean Currents
Cold currents help create dry conditions. Warm currents help create warm conditions.
The Atacama desert on the western South American coast was formed partially because of a cold ocean current.
Warm currents like the GULF STREAM and NORTH ATLANTIC DRIFT, help keep Europe’s temperatures moderate even though they are located at very high latitudes.

22. Pressure and Prevailing Winds
High Pressure is heavy, cold air. Low pressure is warm, light air.
Heated air rises.
There are some fairly constant air pressure systems.

Storms
Where polar winds meet Westerlies there are storms. When hot air masses and cold air masses collide-there are storms.
Cyclonic storms in the northern Hemisphere spin counter-clockwise.
Clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
