climate and natural vegetation
eq climate
hot temp
eq latitude
high angle of sun at midday
extensive cloud cover
high precipitation all year round
high humidity due to high evaporation rate
convection caused by air heating up
air rising in ICTZ
moist air moving into low pressure zone
light and variable wind due to rising air
sunshine less than half of daylight hours due to it being cloudy
hot desert climate
temp hot in summer and winter (inland)
b/w latitudes 15 and 40
midday sun overhead in summer
sun still quite high midday in winter
cloudless skies
temp hot in summer warm in winter (coastal)
maritime influence - sea is colder than land in summer, warmer at night in winter
low precipitation inland, can increase with relief rainfall
low relative humidity as sinking air in high pressure belt is warmed
offshore trade winds are dry
lower precipitation in coastal than inland, fog forms over cold ocean currents
onshore winds have their moisture removed by condensation over cold currents offshore
strong and constant wind
trade winds blow from subtropical high pressure belts at 30S and 30N to eq low pressure belt
sunny almost all day
cloudless skies
