Factors
These two factors affect climate.
What is temperature and precipitation?
This temperature zone is found between 23.5 degrees north and 23.5 degrees south latitude.
What is the tropical zone?
This Subregion of the dry climates is characterized by deserts and less than 25 centimeters of rain each year?
What is Arid?
These are the three temperature zones.
What is tropical, temperate, and polar.
Climate and weather are similar in these ways.
What is they both refer temperature, precipitation, wind, and clouds?
This factor affects temperature by increasing or decreasing the distance from the equator.
What is latitude?
This temperature zone is found at 66.5 degrees north to 90 degrees north and 66.5 degrees south to 90 degrees south.
What is the polar zone?
This Subregion of the tropical rainy climates is characterized by rain forests.
What is Tropical wet?
This temperature zone has the suns rays hitting most directly all year long
Climate and weather are different in these ways.
What is weather is short term and climate is long term?
This factor affects temperature by increasing height.
What is altitude?
This temperature zone is found from 23.5 degrees north to 66.5 degrees north and 23.5 degrees south to 66.5 degrees south.
What is the temperate zones?
This Subregion of the polar climates is characterized by short cool summers and permafrost.
What is Tundra?
This temperature zone has the sun's rays hitting at a very low angle all year long.
What is the polar zone?
This climate is only found in the northern hemisphere.
What is temperate continental climate?
This factor that affects precipitation includes the terms "windward, leeward, and rain shadow"
What are mountain ranges?
The United States is found in this temperature zone.
What is the temperate zone?
This Subregion of the dryclimates is characterized by short grasses found on the edge of deserts.
What is semiarid?
Temperature is affected by these four factors.
What is latitude, altitude, distnacce from large bodies of water, and ocean currents?
This climate region is directly affected by altitude.
What is highlands?
This factor that affects precipitation brings drastic changes in precipitation
What is seasonal winds or monsoons?
Why are the temperature zones different temperature ranges?
What is the angle of the sun hits the tropical zone more directly than the polar zone and temperate zone?
This subregion contains tropical grasslands called savannas.
What is tropical wet-and-dry?
Precipitation is affected by these three factors.
What is prevailing winds, presence of mountains, and seasonal winds.
This side of a mountain contains the rainshadow.
What is the leeward side?
