500
Latitude,altitude,prevailing winds,topography,ocean currents and distances from large bodies of water.
What are the main six factors called controls that influence weather and climate?
500
All weather takes place in this layer
What is Troposphere?
500
Cold water sinks and warm water rises
What is the difference in density between cold and warm water?
500
As air is moving through the atmosphere,the path the air travels is changed due to the rotation of the earth.
What is coriolis effect?
500
Warm air advances towards the cold air sliding over the cold air forming a gentle slope.
What is warm front?
