Latitude is the distance a place is located from
the equator
The closer you are to the equator the hotter it is (0°)

As you move away from the equator toward the north and south poles , the temperatures get cooler

This is because the earth’s rounded surface causes the sun’s energy to be spread out over large areas.

Ocean water travels in paths called currents

Warm currents raise the temperature of the land nearby
Cold currents drop the temperature of the land nearby

An air mass is a large volume of air
![Page 14: L- Latitude O- Ocean Currents W- Wind and Air Masses E- Elevation R- Relief N- Nearness to Water](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051200/5a4d1b427f8b9ab0599a1959/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Air masses move over an area of land and bring weather conditions with them

Elevation (height above the earth’s surface)
![Page 16: L- Latitude O- Ocean Currents W- Wind and Air Masses E- Elevation R- Relief N- Nearness to Water](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051200/5a4d1b427f8b9ab0599a1959/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Mountains influence climate because the higher up you go, the colder it is
![Page 17: L- Latitude O- Ocean Currents W- Wind and Air Masses E- Elevation R- Relief N- Nearness to Water](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051200/5a4d1b427f8b9ab0599a1959/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The temperature decreases 1° for every 100m of altitude

Mountains receive more rainfall than low lying areas because the temperature on top of mountains is lower than the temperature at sea level
Moist air condenses (becomes liquid) as it rises up the mountainside. This causes relief precipitation.

That is why you often see snow on the top of mountains all year round.
This happens because as altitude increases, air becomes thinner and is less able to absorb and retain heat.

Bodies of water are a source of moisture
Winds carry the moisture over the land
The colder deep water and the warmer surface mix to make land climate cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter

How does closeness to a large body of water affect climate?
Water __________ the temperature._______ summers. _______ winters.
City B is closer to a large body of water.
Its temperature line is flatter (moderated).
moderates
Cities A & B are located
at the same latitude.
Cooler Warmer
