TYPES OF CLIMATE
✔ Tropical or megathermal
✔ Dry
✔ Mild temperate or mesothermal
✔ Continental or microthermal
✔ Polar
TROPICAL OR MEGATHERMAL
▪ It has no winter.
▪ Constant warm temperature.

Amazon Rainforest in Brazil

DRY
▪ Low precipitation rates for most of the year.
▪ Water deficiency

Savanna grassland in Africa Sahara desert in Africa

MILD TEMPERATE OR MESOTHERMAL
▪ Mild annual temperatures.
▪ Winters are mild.
▪ environments with
moderate rainfall spread
across the year or portion
of the year with sporadic
drought, mild to warm
summers and cool to cold
winters

Vancouver, Canada
CONTINENTAL OR MICROTHERMAL
▪ Winters are severe.

 FACTORS
AFFECTING
CLIMATE
✔ Latitude ✔ Ocean Currents
✔ Altitude ✔ Prevailing Winds
✔ Distance from Bodies of
Water
 LATITUDE
▪ the measurement of the
distance of regions north or
south of the equator.
▪ climates near the equator are
warmer than those farther
from the equator.
 ALTITUDE
▪ Height above sea level
▪ Regions with high mountains,
altitude becomes a more
important factor than latitude.
▪ Highland areas have cool
climates, regardless of their
distance from the equator.
 MT. KILIMANJARO

✧ Kilimanjaro is located close to the Equator, yet its peaks remain covered
with snow throughout the year because of its high elevation.
 DISTANCE FROM BODIES OF WATER
▪ The ocean regulates the
temperature in nearby islands.
▪ Water heats and cools more
slowly than land. Therefore, in
the summer, the coastal
regions will stay cooler and
warmer in winter. 
 OCEAN CURRENTS

▪ Bring colder water towards the

equator and warmer water
towards the polar zone.
▪ Temperature in a region can
increase or decrease.
PREVAILING WINDS
▪ Set patterns of winds.
▪ The movement of the Earth’s
wind starts at the equator, where
it is the hottest.
▪ Wind affects the climate where it
has travelled over
