1 So we can say that the climate in London is temperate
WEATHER CLIMATE Climate refers to the state of the atmosphere in a place over a long period of time Weather refers to the state of the atmosphere in a place at a specific time So we can say that the climate in London is temperate For example, we could say that the weather in London today is hot and dry

2 The Factors that Affect Climate

3 Closeness to Large Bodies of Water
There are five factors that affect climate: Latitude Closeness to Large Bodies of Water Orographic Effect Elevation Ocean Currents

4 Latitude

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

6 Closeness to Large Bodies of Water

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

8 Orographic Effect

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

10 We live in the troposphere. Temperature decreases
Elevation We live in the troposphere. Temperature decreases with elevation.

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

12 Ocean Currents

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