Temp.
Factors affecting
Altitude
Affects avg. temp
How?
Ground up heating of atmosphere
Decrease of air density with height
Greenhouse gases are closer to ground, trapping heat closer to the ground
Albedo
Affects avg. temp
How?
Decrease of absorption of insolation by increasing reflection
Latitude
Affects avg. temp + annual temp range
How?
Avg. temp.:
because of angle of incidence leading to amt of variation in beam spread and atmosphere to penetrate
Annual temp:
Tilt and revolution of Earth leads to subsolar point migration
2 Equinoxes + 2 Solstices
Check TB for diagram
Cloud cover
Affects diurnal temp. range
How?
Da7
Dist. from ocean
Affects annual temp. range
