Climate Factors Mind Map
Ocean currents
DECRIPTION The global ocean currents circulate cold water from Antarctica around the, cold currents mix with warm currents keeping the worlds ocean and a stable temperature/ maintains a balance
-
IMPACT ON CLIMATE Warm or cold currents affects the atmosphere and land around them, if a location is near a warm current they will enjoy warmer weather/climate

DECRIPTION Latitude says how close you are or a country is from the equator from the north or the south. Latitude is measured in degrees. Latitude is also a bunch of lines going from the eastern hemisphere to the western hemisphere or the opposite
IMPACT ON CLIMATE The farther in Latitude we are depends on the climate because if you're in the closest to the equator you will get direct sun, but the further you are from the equator the colder it will get because the sun will be hitting on a angle so it will not be direct it will be indirect

Wind and air masses
-
IMPACT ON CLIATE !The wind has a big impact on the climate because there is some cold air and some warm air. Depending on the wind that’s how you would feel, For example If there is a lot of wind in a cold place the climate won't feel that cold but it really is and if you're in a really warm area with a lot of and you won't feel that warm anymore but is really is
-
The air at the equator is hot and the air at the poles is cold, when warm air rises cold air rushes in to fill the empty space. We call this wind. In Ontario our prevailing winds come from the WEST. !!!
-
Large body of air, Warm masses from the equator, Cold masses from the poles, Air masses that come over water tend to be warmer
When cold air and warm air masses meet, The warm air is forced up the air rushes in to fill the space, The warm, Cool Condense, And precipitate
Elavation

DECRIPTION Air density affects the temperature. Air at high elevation is less dense it cannot hold the heat, air at low elevation is very dense so it can hold heat. The reason the spread out molecules are cold because the suns protons can't hit them
-
DECRIPTION Large lakes and oceans take a looooooooooooong time to heat up or cool. Water is very good at restraining heat. All summer long lakes absorb heat from the sun and then I the winter that heat can affect the land nearby
odies of water affects the climate because Depending on the air that the water absorbed so if the water absorbed heat the land beside the air going into the land beside it will be warm
DECRIPTION: Mountain ranges can fo a barrier forces wind to rise up and when warm air is forced to rise up It will cool condense and cause precipitation
