6 Factors Affecting Climate 4. Latitude Affected by Earth s axis tilt which creates seasons Close to equator = more direct intense sunlight Poles = less direct diffused sunlight About 12 hour days around equator Variable as you get away from the equator
7 As we move farther Latitudes from the equator near the equator temperatures receive start high to poles get angle, colder direct sunlight, The At temperate 66.5 they º north are and heated zones south are more of the located equator and have between lie the warmer polar 23.5º zones and 66.5º latitude climates Temperate polar zones zones at a low These have angle climates latitudes (less direct), that are known can spreading be both as the the warm same tropics and amount cold and or of energy lie between moderate over a larger 0º year and area 23.5º round latitude We some live in of this the solar The temperate energy tropics (radiation) zone Experience cold winters warm and climates warm summers year round Latitude Affects Climate As latitude increases even farther, we start to move closer to the Solar energy hits the Also polar ice reflects Polar zones are cold year round 90 o 66.5 o 23.5 o 0 o 23.5 o 66.5 o 90 o
8 Latitude Effects Climate 30º North Latitude Equator 0º Latitude 30º South Latitude Desert Here, climates air is sinking Creating are located High Pressure at around Why? (Sunny weather) 30º North latitude Why? Tropical climates are located near the equator Desert 0º latitude climates Here, air is sinking are located Creating High Pressure at around 30º (Sunny weather) South latitude Here, air is rising (doldrums) creating low pressure (Cloudy, Rainy weather)
9 Warm Humid Tropical air Rises at the Doldrums O o latitude -- Equator 30º North Latitude Equator 0º Latitude 30º South Latitude Whenever air rises, clouds form and we Get precipitation Low Pressure Here we get tropical rainforests Air sinks at 30 o Latitude creating sunny High Pressure Here we get Deserts
10 Continental Climates Cities which are located in the middle of continents experience freezing winters and hot summers Therefore, cities like Chicago experience dramatic temperature fluctuations over the coarse of a year: Hot summers and Cold winters
11 Observe the behavior of temperatures as they cross over the North American Continent How do temperatures increase or decrease as they cross a continent??? Continental Climates 5 o 0 o 10 o 15 o -10 o 20 o -20 o -30 o 25 o -40 o Winter 30 o
12 As we move farther Latitudes from the equator near the equator temperatures receive start high to poles get angle, colder direct sunlight, The At temperate 66.5 they º north are and heated zones south are more of the located equator and have between lie the warmer polar 23.5º zones and 66.5º latitude climates Temperate polar zones zones at a low These have angle climates latitudes (less direct), that are known can spreading be both as the the warm same tropics and amount cold and or of energy lie between moderate over a larger 0º year and area 23.5º round latitude We some live in of this the solar The temperate energy tropics (radiation) zone Experience cold winters warm and climates warm summers year round Latitude Affects Climate As latitude increases even farther, we start to move closer to the Solar energy hits the Also polar ice reflects Polar zones are cold year round 90 o 66.5 o 23.5 o 0 o 23.5 o 66.5 o 90 o

Tropical climates are located near the equator Desert 0º latitude climates Here, air is sinking are located Creating High Pressure at around 30º (Sunny weather) South latitude Here, air is rising (doldrums) creating low pressure (Cloudy, Rainy weather)

15 Climate Classification How should we classify climates? As it turns out, climates are classified by temperature and precipitation (how hot or wet a place is) There are 5 major climate types: Climate types include: Tropical Climates, Temperate or Moderate Climates, Arid Dry Climates, Continental Climates, and Polar Climates
