Climate Factors Mindmap
Air Masses/Wind
Location
They have tornadoes in Texas because of the warm and cold air clashing to create a tornado. The air masses from the warmer areas near the equator are brought over to the US and bringing warm air. The air masses from the north are coming down to the US and bringing cold air. The wind could be created from the clashing of the warm and cold air. There might be a tornado.

Description
All Warm air comes from the equator. All Cold Air comes from the poles. All gets mixed up because the earth is spinning. Everyday cold and warm air meet in the battle of the AIR MASSES!!!!!!!!!!! When cold and warm air meet…
Latitude
Description
The latitude affects the climate because if you are farther away from the equator it is colder. But if you are closer to the equator it will be hotter.
Location
In Mexico, it is really hot because the sun is the closest to the equator and Mexico is really near the equator. The latitude affects climate because if you are farther away from the middle it gets colder but if you are closer to the equator it is warmer.
-
Ocean Currents
Description
The ocean currents affect the climate because the cold currents would get warmed up by the ocean currents from the tropics that go to the colder regions. If the warm ocean currents are going to the cold places than it will be warmer in the places that they go to.
Location
In Vancouver it is warm even though you are really far away from the equator. It is really warm because the ocean currents bring warm air over from the tropics.
-
Elevation
Description
Elevation affects the climate because if a country or city is elevated or on a mountain it will be colder. But if the city is near sea level than it will be warmer than the elevated cities.
Location
Quito, Ecuador is affected by elevation because it is really high. Although it is close to the equator because of the elevation of the city it can get cold at night.
-
Relief
Description
Relief can affect climate because if your city has a big difference in the highest point and the lowest point than it might rain a lot. But if your city is mostly the same height the whole way than there might not be as much rain.
Location
British Columbia's Rocky Mountains is affected by relief since the ocean is really close and when the air goes up the mountains they make rain clouds and starts to rain a lot on one side of the mountain.
-
Bodies of Water
Description
Bodies of water can affect the climate in the coastal regions because the water might stay cold after winter and the water might stay warm after summer so winter will be warm and summer will be cold.
Location
Newfoundland is affected by bodies of water because it is close to the ocean it gets the warm water and air from the warmer places. Even though Newfoundland is far from the equator it till is warm from the warm air coming from the ocean.
