1. What Causes Different Climates?
Final Lesson for Geography Unit 1

2. Before we start…
Let’s get some terminology!

3. What is Climate?

4. Climate
The weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period.
Temperature
Humidity
Air Pressure (Ie. Cloudy or Sunny)

9. What is Latitude?

10. Latitude
The angular distance of a place north or south of the earth's equator, usually expressed in degrees and minutes.
The position that you are NORTH and SOUTH in the world!
Closest to the Equator is HOTTEST
Further away (North and South Poles) are COLDEST

13. What about East to West?

14. East to West
DOES NOT cause changes in climate!

15. Ocean Currents?

16. Ocean Currents
An ocean current is a continuous, directed movement of sea water generated by a number of forces acting upon the water
This essentially means that Oceans are NOT staying still, and are moving in distinct, organized patterns!

18. 5 Things that Cause Different Climates!
The Effect of Latitude
The Effect of Moving Air (Winds and Pressure)
The Effect of Water Bodies
The Effect of Mountains
The Effect of Ocean Currents
