Presentation transcript:

Identify five factors that affect climate and explain how each affects climate.

How does latitude affect climate? As latitude ________, the average annual temperature _________. 0° Latitude 90° Temperature decreases increases

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). moderates Cities A & B are located at the same latitude. CoolerWarmer

The windward sides of the Adirondacks & Catskills receive a great deal more precipitation The leeward sides of the Adirondacks & Catskills receive much less precipitation

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

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

During summer, temperature is strongly controlled by elevation -- cold at the higher reaches of the Alaska and Brooks Ranges, and warmer in the lowlands.

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

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

Classifying Climates Classified by three factors –The climate’s temperature –The climate’s precipitation amounts –The climate’s native vegetation
