14 Page 14 of the ESRTs We live in the troposphere. Temperature decreases with elevation. B) Elevation

15 Hawaii Mauna Kea Elevation: 13,796 ft B) Elevation

16 Higher Elevation  --

17 How does elevation affect climate? -- Elevation Temperature

18 C) Distance from a body of water

19 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). -- Cities A & B are located at the same latitude. ----

20 1. -- 2. Creates “marine climates” -__

21 D) Center of a large land mass

22 1. -- 2. Called “continental climate” ---
