CLIMATE

I. TRUE OR FALSE
1. Weather is a long-term average of variation in atmospheric phenomena for a particular area.
2. The farther we go from the equator, the temperature drops and the cooler it gets.
3. The higher the altitude, the higher the temperature.
4. Climate refers to the general pattern of weather in a certain area over a long period of time.
5. The higher the latitude, the lower the temperature.
6. Temperature decreases with increasing altitude.
7. A sea breeze is a wind blowing from body of water towards the land.
8. Land breeze happens during daytime.
9. The windward side of the mountain generally receives more precipitation than the leeward.
10. The ocean current systems flow counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern
hemisphere.

II. FILL IN THE BLANKS. Use the words inside the box to complete the following statements.

Less larger atmosphere latitude concentrated

Lines that run horizontally across the globe, north and south of the equator, are called (11)__________.
Locations that are farther (North/South) from the equator receive (12)__________ heat energy from the Sun.
The sun’s rays around the equator are very (13) _____________. As we move away from the equator, sunlight has
to pass through more of the earth’s (14)______________. The curvature of the earth also means that the sun’s
rays are spread over a (15)__________ distance, and therefore they are less concentrated.
