1 Exploring the Influences on Climate Part 1: Predictions and Background 1.) Based on the map below, record what you predict to be the 3 hottest and coldest cities in the month of July. Polar Climate Zone Temperate Climate Zone Tropical Climate Zone Temperate Climate Zone 3 hottest cities 3 coldest cities 1st 2nd 3rd Polar Climate Zone 2.) Using the map above describe the location of the polar, temperate, and tropical climate zones.
2 Part 2: Latitude s Effect on Climate City, Country Latitude Climate Zone Temperature Range (coldest to hottest) C Anchorage, United States Tokyo, Japan Manila, Philippines Name: Date: Hr.: Precipitation Range (least amount to largest amount) 3.) Anchorage, Tokyo, and Manila are all located in the northern hemisphere, near water, and have comparable elevations. Based on this information and the table above, what effect does latitude have on climate? Give evidence.. 4.) Manila, Phillipines and Panama City, Panama are in the same climate zone and Reykjavik, Iceland and Anchorage USA are in the same climate zone. Compare their climate graphs. What do you notice about the range of temperatures when you compare the climate zones? City, Country Latitude Climate Zone Coldest month Hottest month Tokyo, Japan Cape Town, South Africa Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic 5.) How does the hemisphere that a city is located in affect its climate, in particular its seasons? Give evidence.
3 Part 3: Elevations s Effect on Climate City, Country Climate Zone Elevation Temperature Range (coldest to hottest) C Mexico City, Mexico Panama City, Panama Bangkok, Thailand Quito, Ecuador Miami, USA Addis Adaba, Ethiopia 6.) What effect does elevation have on an area s climate? Give evidence. Name: Date: Hr.: Part 4: Proximity to Water s Effect on Climate City, Country Climate Zone Proximity to Water Coldest mean monthly temperature C Average precipitation during the winter * Amsterdam, Netherlands London, England Berlin, Germany Warsaw, Poland Kiev, Ukraine * Winter in the Northern Hemisphere is considered December through February 7.) Which cities have the mildest winters? 8.) What happens to the winter temperatures as you move from Amsterdam to Kiev? The precipitation? 9.) What effect does proximity to water have on an area s climate? Give evidence.
4 10.) Based on the climate graphs and your discoveries in Parts 2-4, are your answers from Part 1 Question 1 accurate? If not, why might you have been incorrect (What factors that affect climate did you not consider)? Part 5: Other Factor s Effect on Climate Answer the following: 11.) Despite their names, Greenland is actually mostly covered in ice and Iceland is mostly green. Using the table below that includes climate data for Nuuk, Greenland and Reykjavik, Iceland, explain what affect ice cover has on the climate of an area. Both cities are near water and have comparable elevations. City, Country Climate Zone Temperature Range C Average precipitation during the winter Nuuk, Greenland Polar -9 to 7 C ~50 mm Reykjavik, Iceland Polar 0 to 11 C ~ 82 mm 12.) Unfortunately, due to climate change, global temperatures are on the rise. Which of these two cities is likely to see a faster rise in temperature? Why? 13.) According to the diagram, what affect does living in a city have on the climate of an area?
5 14.) Use the following climate graphs for New York City, NY and Eureka, CA to explain why they have different climates despite being at the same elevation, latitude, and proximity to water. 15.) If you compare the information of Cape Town, South Africa and Sydney, Australia, what seems odd? City, Country Latitude Climate Zone Elevation Proximity to water Temperature Range (coldest to hottest) C Sydney, Australia S Temperate 1 m On water 26 to 30 C Cape Town, South Africa S Temperate 7 m On water 12 to 21 C 16.) Based on the map to the right, what is one reason that Sydney may be warmer than Cape Town?
