This document is a 60 slide lesson on climate that includes definitions, diagrams, videos, and activities. It begins by asking students to categorize weather elements and introduces different climates like deserts and rainforests through virtual field trips. Students learn about factors that influence climate such as proximity to large bodies of water, altitude, ocean currents and winds. Short-term climate variations like El Niño and long-term changes including ice ages are also examined. The lesson emphasizes that climate involves long-term patterns, not just day-to-day weather.

Take a look at the locations of those virtual field trips on this topographic map of Washington State. What might explain the stark difference in the climate of these two regions? Be specific!
Monsoons, and the change between the wet and dry seasons, are caused by:
The Earth's rotation
Severe storms
Seasonal reversal in wind directions
Winds that do not change
