Climate Factors: how and why does each
factor affect climate and a Pic
Ocean Currents
Relief
Why
Because air molecules are more colder on mountains, some will continue to rise up and make rain clouds, to rain on one of the mountain's sides.
Pic
How
When air gets higher above the ground, gravity has less control over it so they spread out. This makes the air colder, like air on the mountains.
How
The cold currents come from the poles and warms currents come from the tropics. They're moved by the gravity, winds, and rotation of the earth.
Why
Ocean currents bring water to the world to heat up and cool down the land. It travels in one loop and is called a conveyor belt.

Latitude
Why
Why
Places closer to the equator get more of the sun's rays, and areas with higher latitude have less. We also use latitude to locate areas on the globe.
Pic
How
Latitude marks the equator, tropics, and how far the North and South pole are. Latitude is also marked with degrees.
Elevation
Pic
Why
Because the higher air molecules are from the ground, the more they will separate.
How
The air will get colder the higher you go.
Bodies of water
Why
The bodies of water absorb the temperature of the past season to heat or cool the land to avoid extreme temperatures.
Pic
How
The bodies of water absorb the temperature because water can freeze or heat.
Wind and Air Masses
Why
the equator is where the sun's rays are shooting at the most while the poles are the places where the sun's rays shoot at the least.
Pic
How
Cold air comes from both the poles and warn air comes from the equator.
