Avg. Yearly Temp.
• The area that receives the most direct rays of the Sun (equator, 0°) will have the highest yearly temperatures.
• The area that receives the least direct rays of the sun (poles, 90°) will have the lowest yearly temperatures.
• As latitude increases, average yearly temperatures decreases

• Equatorial areas receive the direct rays of the Sun for most of the year. Therefore, the yearly temperature does not change much.

Ocean CurrentsOcean Currents
Animation
• Ocean currents move warm water from the equator towards the poles.
• Ocean currents move cold water from the poles back to the equator to be heated again. (pg. _4_ of ESRT)

Marine vs. Continental Marine vs. Continental • Sea or land locations affects temperature ranges. Since land gains and loses heat much more quickly than water, land areas tend to have warmer summers and cooler winters. Coastal areas near the ocean have cooler summers and milder/warmer winters.
• Coastal areas have marine climates with a small yearly temperature range and areas inland have continental climates with a larger yearly temperature range

This graph shows the average monthly temperatures for two cities, A and B, which are both located at 41ºN latitude.
Why is there a difference in the average yearly temperature range for the two cities?
• Because City A is located inland (continental) and
City B is located near water (marine)

Rainfall Factors - LatitudeRainfall Factors - Latitude
Animation
• Uneven heating of the Earth produces global wind & pressure belts. These belts determine the wetness or dryness of an area.
• Low Pressure - rising air creates precipitation• High Pressure - sinking air creates a lack of precipitation

• Rainfall occurs on the windward side of the mountain where the air is rising.
• Cool & Wet
• It is dry on the leeward side of the mountain where the air is sinking.

El NinoEl Nino
Animation
• A warming of the surface water of the eastern and central Pacific Ocean, occurring every 4 to 12 years and causing unusual global weather patterns.
• El Nino brings heavy rain to western South American and drought to eastern Australia and Indonesia.

Lake Effect SnowLake Effect Snow
• The air moving over the water needs to be cooler than the water.
• The surface of the lake can’t be frozen

Lake Effect SnowLake Effect Snow
• Water begins evaporating off of the surface of the lake into the air.• Fetch - distance over open water
• The greater distance the wind blows over the warm water, the greater the convection /evaporation.
