Climate Factors. How and why does each factor effect climate and a pic
Latitude
Pic
Why : the sun shines the most on the equator
How : the places closer to the equator are hotter than the places farther away
Ocean Currents
Why : the earth rotates which causes the cold water to go to the warm shores and vice versa
Pic
How : currents go across water and makes the shores hot/cold
Bodies of Water
Why : Big lakes trap heat from the summer and then releases that heat
How : places near water have cold summers and hot winters
Pic
Elevation
Why : At high Elevation there are les air molecules to trap the sun's heat
Pic
How : When you go higher it gets colder
Mountain Barriers
Why : warm air comes from the ocean and cold air comes from the mountains then warm air gets pushed up which makes it rain on one side and have nothing happen on the other
Pic
How : it makes one side of the mountain is dry while the other side is raining
Wind and Air Masses
Why : Warm air gets put up while cold air gets pushed down
Pic
How : When warm air and cold air meets and makes water that falls down
