Air Pressure
Air Pressure is the pressure you get depending on the higher you are, the higher you are in the world the less pressure there will be because there will be less air molecules. They move much more spread out then cool dense air which means they are much faster and have more space.
And the lower you are in the world the more pressure there will be, because there will be more air molecules in the air moving in a bigger group in a slower motion.
Prevailing Winds
The wind is air in motion caused by unequal heating.
The Coriolis effect is a phenomenon created by the Earths rotation that causes winds and water to curve around above the Earth's surface.
Convection cells is warm and cold air in a circular pattern, this resembles to the latitudinal bands and the land breeze and sea breezes as well.
Climate is the weather pattern of a particular region over a long period of time.
Weather is minute by minute changes to the temperature and can happen at any time.
Ocean Currents
The ocean currents carry warm water around the country making countries milder and warmer.
Surface currents are horizontal flows across the surface of the water caused by unequal heating and temperature of the oceans water AND winds.
Deep Currents is when the cold water becomes dense and sinks to the bottom of the sea and gets replaced by warm water being carried across the earth.
Elevation
The higher you are in the world the weather becomes colder.
Since lighter colored things reflect better sunlight then darker colored objects like the water, when the solar energy from the sun shine on the water and the water reflects it as cold air towards the mountains which makes the temperature cold.
Proximity to water
Coastal areas are colder than lock landed areas because the water is carrying cold water.
And the water reflects more sunlight which makes the country milder.
Latitude
It depends on solar energy (sunlight)
The equator receives the most sunlight and while you go up you will get more indirect sunlight and so on. The place with the least sunlight are the two poles.
Latitude has another property which is the latitudinal bands and the purpose is to make a huge convection cell from the equator to the north poles, they bring up warm air to cold air back down. The left out air becomes low pressure that goes into the Earth.
Humidity
Humidity is when water evaporates into the sky and becomes a moist air slowly going up to becoming clouds to start the process over again.
The water comes back as rain and soon repeating the process over again.
The left out salt stays in the water which means the water from the rain is clean and the left out water from the vapor, and the water temperature will be cold. And since the water is dense it will sink and the warm water will replace it and the process will start over again.
Temperature
Wind
Wind is air in motion, it is caused by unequal heating and simply air masses and molecules moving in groups.
Elevation
Since lighter colored things reflect better sunlight then darker colored objects like the water, when the solar energy from the sun shine on the water and the water reflects it as cold air towards the mountains which makes the temperature cold.
The higher you are in the world the weather becomes colder.
