Elevation
How does elevation affect temperature? higher elevations usually mean cooler temperat Air is thinner at higher elevations it cannot hold on to heat as well
What does this mean for precipitation? With cooler temperatures there it is more likely

Thinking question about latitu
Are climates and temperatures always siwhen two locations are at the same latitu
You might think so BUT that is not alway
case...

Wind Systems
What part do wind systems play in the climate?Wind moves warm and cool air around the planet which meanan impact on temperature and precipitation
Wind systems can bring moist air onto land and cause rainexample monsoonsexample when coastal locations are warmer or cooler bec
temperature of the oceans or lakes nearby due to wcross over the water

Ocean Currents
How do ocean currents impact temperatureprecipitation?
Ocean currents distribute heat on earthWater warms up near the equator
It then flows north or south to the tropicsWater from the tropics then heads toward the polit cools and then circulates back towards the equat
This action is aided by wind systems and is like a conveyor belt s

Position on the Continent
Whats the impact temperature and precipitaAreas near coasts are more moderate (or consistentround)
these areas also tend to get more rain
Areas that are more inland experience bigger changtemperature (both daily and seasonally)
noticeable in the middle latitudes like the Grestates - Oklahoma and Nebraska

Mountain Barriers
Whats the impact?The biggest impact is on precipitation
As moist air rises and passes over a mountain it co
One side of is usually called the wet or windward this is the side closest to the ocean
The other side is the dry or leeward side (this is ththat is not on the coastline
