CLIMATE OF THE PLANET
- THE FIVE MOST IMPORTANT PHENOMENA THAT
AFFECT THE CLIMATE
-The humidity: of the air is due to the steam water, which comes from the evaporation of the ocean, other bodies of water such as rivers or lakes, and the vegetation. 
-Precipitation: is the fall of water from the atmosphere to the Earth, in the form of rain, drizzle, snow, sleet and hail.
- The wind: is the movement of air masses on a large scale. It is classified by its speed and address.
-Atmospheric pressure: is the force that exerts the air per unit area above the surface from the earth.
-The temperature: is the specific degree of heat of the air at a certain place and time.
- OTHER FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE CLIMATE
3- Polar zone. They are the extreme areas of the planet, bounded by Arctic polar circles and Antarctic, which accommodate large layers of ice or tundra.
-
-Altitude: It is defined as how high a location is above sea level ( a city in the mountains has a high altitude).
1- Intertropical zone. (or warm, torrid or tropical). It is the fringe between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn
-Latitude: latitude refers to the distance of a location on the Earth's surface from the equator in relation to the north and south poles.
- METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS
-Climate: describes what the weather is like over a long period of time in a specific area.To describe the climate of a place, we could say what the temperatures are like during the different seasons, how windy it usually is, or how much rain or snow usually falls.
-
-Water: refers to short-term changes in the atmosphere. There are many different factors that can change the atmosphere in a given area, such as air pressure, temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction.

The El Niño - Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon is a recurring climatic pattern that involves changes in the temperature of the waters in the central and eastern part of the tropical Pacific. ... The warm phase of El Niño usually lasts between 8-10 months.
