Climate Process Diagram
4.Evaporation
-
When water is heated the molecules in the water begin to rise up and transform into a gas called steam
-
The most significant natural factor is equator, which is the result of climatic processes creating high temperatures and levels of rainfall in the tropical regions - between the latitudes of 23° North and 23° South of the changed. Other natural factors include the quality of soil and the world.
It is these climate factors which means that coffee plants can only be cultivated in the tropical regions, in what is known as the bean belt. All climatic of the world that have land inside the bean belt grow coffee, whereas no countries outside of this zone produce the popular bean.
The global regions of coffee growing we see around the world is the result of a number of both cultural and altitude/elevation factors. These factors interact to produce our spatial pattern, however some are more significant than others. This pattern furthermore, has developed and colonisation over time.
When the sun is located directly over the horizon, the incoming insolation strikes the surface of the Earth.

-
harsh growing conditions slow the bean’s maturation process and provide time for complex flavour to develop
fast drainage down the mountain reduces the amount of water the coffee plants can soak up and, in turn, how fat their cherries can become
Altitude can affect the amount of rainfall a location receives because high elevation forces clouds to condense and release rain. Therefore in places of high elevation, such as Colombia, we also see high levels of precipitation.
2.Insolation
-
The more insolation, the higher the temperature.
Insolation is correlated with the angle of incidence, the greater the angle of incidence is the higher the insolation value.
High temperatures are what give coffee that nice flavour and aroma because it releases a lot of vapour which enhances your perception of aromas.
Coffee needs high temperatures in order for the plants to grow, low temperatures can bring frost which the plant is not adapted to.
As temperature increases so does evaporation, because the capacity of moisture is heightened as the temperature is increased.
-
-
High rainfall is causes by the evaporation from the water which forms clouds that create a lot of pressure.
