Weather vs. Climate
Weather: the condition of the air and the
sky from day to day
Climate: the average weather over many
years
![Page 3: World Climates - Weebly€¦ · Landforms 3. Wind 4. Water . Climate and Latitude •Climate depends on location. •Low latitudes, generally, have hot climates. •High latitudes](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060300/5f08023d7e708231d41fdf0f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Weather
• Weather is measured by precipitation and
temperature.
• Temperature is how hot or cold the air is!
![Page 4: World Climates - Weebly€¦ · Landforms 3. Wind 4. Water . Climate and Latitude •Climate depends on location. •Low latitudes, generally, have hot climates. •High latitudes](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060300/5f08023d7e708231d41fdf0f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Precipitation
• Precipitation is water that falls to the
ground as rain, sleet, hail, or snow.

4 Factors that Affect Climate
1. Latitude
2. Landforms
3. Wind
4. Water
![Page 6: World Climates - Weebly€¦ · Landforms 3. Wind 4. Water . Climate and Latitude •Climate depends on location. •Low latitudes, generally, have hot climates. •High latitudes](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060300/5f08023d7e708231d41fdf0f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Climate and Latitude
• Climate depends on location.
• Low latitudes, generally, have hot
climates.
• High latitudes have cold climates.
![Page 7: World Climates - Weebly€¦ · Landforms 3. Wind 4. Water . Climate and Latitude •Climate depends on location. •Low latitudes, generally, have hot climates. •High latitudes](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060300/5f08023d7e708231d41fdf0f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Climate and the Water Cycle
1. Water evaporates from bodies of water
or land areas.
2. The water forms clouds.
3. As the moist air rises it cools and drops
its moisture in the form of precipitation.
4. The cycle begins again!
![Page 8: World Climates - Weebly€¦ · Landforms 3. Wind 4. Water . Climate and Latitude •Climate depends on location. •Low latitudes, generally, have hot climates. •High latitudes](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060300/5f08023d7e708231d41fdf0f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Climate and Wind
• Wind moves heat and moisture between
different parts of the Earth.
• Wind follows regular patterns.
• Winds create ocean currents.
• Currents are like big rivers in the oceans.
![Page 10: World Climates - Weebly€¦ · Landforms 3. Wind 4. Water . Climate and Latitude •Climate depends on location. •Low latitudes, generally, have hot climates. •High latitudes](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060300/5f08023d7e708231d41fdf0f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Wind Patterns
![Page 11: World Climates - Weebly€¦ · Landforms 3. Wind 4. Water . Climate and Latitude •Climate depends on location. •Low latitudes, generally, have hot climates. •High latitudes](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060300/5f08023d7e708231d41fdf0f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Climate and Water: Oceans
• Oceans gain or lose heat slowly, so they
keep temperatures mild near the coast.
• Ex: It is always a little warmer here in the
winter than in central Massachusetts.
![Page 12: World Climates - Weebly€¦ · Landforms 3. Wind 4. Water . Climate and Latitude •Climate depends on location. •Low latitudes, generally, have hot climates. •High latitudes](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060300/5f08023d7e708231d41fdf0f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Ocean’s Cooling and Warming
Effects
• Water takes longer to heat or cool than
land.
• As the air and land heat up in the summer,
the water remains cooler. Wind blowing
over the water cools the nearby land.
• This is why it is cooler at the beach during
the summer.
![Page 13: World Climates - Weebly€¦ · Landforms 3. Wind 4. Water . Climate and Latitude •Climate depends on location. •Low latitudes, generally, have hot climates. •High latitudes](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060300/5f08023d7e708231d41fdf0f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Ocean’s Cooling and Warming
Effects Continued
• In the winter, the water remains warmer
than land.
• This is why coastal areas will get rain
when other areas get snow.
![Page 14: World Climates - Weebly€¦ · Landforms 3. Wind 4. Water . Climate and Latitude •Climate depends on location. •Low latitudes, generally, have hot climates. •High latitudes](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060300/5f08023d7e708231d41fdf0f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Oceans Continued
• Oceans help distribute Earth’s heat.
• Generally, warm water moves away from
the equator and cold water moves toward
the equator.
![Page 15: World Climates - Weebly€¦ · Landforms 3. Wind 4. Water . Climate and Latitude •Climate depends on location. •Low latitudes, generally, have hot climates. •High latitudes](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060300/5f08023d7e708231d41fdf0f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Gulf Stream and North Atlantic
Current
• In the Atlantic Ocean the Gulf Stream and
the North Atlantic Current carry warm
water from the tropics toward western
Europe.
• That gives western Europe a warmer
climate than other regions at the same
latitude.
![Page 16: World Climates - Weebly€¦ · Landforms 3. Wind 4. Water . Climate and Latitude •Climate depends on location. •Low latitudes, generally, have hot climates. •High latitudes](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060300/5f08023d7e708231d41fdf0f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
North Atlantic Current

Landforms and Climate: Mountains
• Mountains also affect climate.
• The higher the elevation the colder the
climate.
![Page 18: World Climates - Weebly€¦ · Landforms 3. Wind 4. Water . Climate and Latitude •Climate depends on location. •Low latitudes, generally, have hot climates. •High latitudes](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060300/5f08023d7e708231d41fdf0f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Raging Storms
• Wind and water also create dangerous
storms.
• Tropical Cyclones: Intense wind and rain
storms that form over oceans in the
tropics.
• In the Atlantic Ocean, these are called
hurricanes.
