What is Climate? average weather conditions over a period of many years

What are the four major factors that affect Climate?

1. Latitude Determines the amount of solar energy received and the types of winds.

At the Equator, the Sun’s rays strike the Earth’s surface at an angle of about ________ degrees.

Why do certain places on Earth receive more solar energy than others?

Wind Patterns

2. Elevation

3. Proximity to large bodies of water Water heats up and cools down more slowly than land WHY? Because water has a high SPECIFIC HEAT… Water moderates temperatures Coastal regions: warmer winters, cooler summers (than inland regions)

4. Topography

windward = wet and cool leeward = dry and warm

How would you describe the climate of Virginia?
