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.
