    Factors Affecting Climate

    Uploaded by

    Rhian Geena Velasquez
    The document discusses several key factors that affect climate: latitude, altitude, proximity to bodies of water, topography, and ocean currents. Latitude affects climate based on proximity to the equator. Altitude impacts temperature, with temperatures decreasing 6.5 degrees Celsius every 1000 meters gained in elevation. Bodies of water moderate temperatures and create more stable climates, while landlocked areas experience more extremes. Topography and ocean currents also influence climate patterns over long periods of time.

    What is
    CLIMATE
    ?

    15
    It is a general
    pattern of weather
    in a certain area
    over a long period of
    time. (about 30
    years)
    16
    Factors
    affecting
    climate
    17
    18
    LATITUDE

    19
    LATITUDE

    • It is the distance (in


    degrees) to the
    North and South
    from the equator

    • It is a imaginary
    line parallel to the
    equator
    20
    • Tropical – low latitude

    • Temperate – middle
    latitude

    • Polar – high latitude

    ALTITUDE

    24
    ALTITUDE
    • Height above sea level
    • Air temperature
    decreases as altitude
    increases
    • For every 1,000 meters
    increase in altitude,
    temperature decreases
    by 6.5 degrees celcius
    25
    26
    For every 1000
    meter up, there is
    drop of 6.5 degree
    celcius.

    27
    28
    BODIES OF
    WATER
    29
    Water heats and cools
    more slowly than land.
    During summer the coastal
    regions will stay cooler
    and during winter coastal
    region will stay warmer. A
    more moderate climate
    with a smaller temperature
    range is created.
    30
    Places that are far from
    bodies of water have
    extreme climates, as there
    are no emediate bodies of
    water that would help to
    circulate the movement of
    cold air and warm air.

    TOPOGRAPHY

    34
    TOPOGRAPHY
    “ • the arrangement of the
    natural and artificial
    physical features of an
    area
    • the physical
    appearance of the
    natural features of an
    area of land, especially
    35 the shape of its surface

    OCEAN
    CURRENT

    39
    OCEAN CURRENT
    “• Continuous, predictable,
    directional movement of
    seawater driven by gravity,
    wind and water density
    • Moves in 2 directions,
    horizontal and vertical
    • Horizontal movement is
    the current
    40
    “
    ⪢ *Ocean Current act much like a
    conveyor belt, transporting warm
    water and precipitation from the
    equator towards the poles and cold
    water from the poles back to the
    tropics. *Ocean currents regulates
    global climate, helping to
    counteract the uneven distribution
    of Solar Radiation reaching
    Earth’s surface.
