Climate of the planet - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Climate: It describes what the weather is like over a long period of time in a
        specific area.To describe the
        climate of a place, we might say what the temperatures are like during different seasons, how windy it usually is, or how much rain or snow typically falls.
- - - - The wind: is the movement of air masses on a large scale. It is classified by
        its speed and address.
        
        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. It does not include fog or dew, which are not precipitation but rather condensation of moisture. :
- - - - 2- Temperate zone. It is the area that goes
        from the tropics to the polar circles.They are common great forests, meadows and
        deserts.
        
        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 (frozen plains). It goes from 66 to 90 ° latitude. Its climate is cold.
        
        Altitude: It is defined as how high a location is above sea level ( a city in the
        mountains has a high altitude).
- - - - On the other hand, when the winds in the area change direction and blow eastwards, it moves the warm water
        along the South American coasts and preventing the nutrients needed to enable
        the fishing activity in the region to flourish.
        
        At the same time, the atmospheric
        conditions are altered, notably influencing the climate. The unusual warming of the
        sea waters gives rise to the formation of clouds, which generate abundant rainfall
        on the coasts and even, if they are stronger, in the continental interior of
        Ecuador, northern Peru and southern Colombia, causing extreme flooding of
        the rivers.
