Climate
• Conditions over a long period of time for a particular region
• Includes:– Temperature– Precipitation– Seasons (hot/cold, wet/dry)
![Page 3: World Geography SOL 2 - Climate. Climate Conditions over a long period of time for a particular region Includes: –Temperature –Precipitation –Seasons](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649f0a5503460f94c1e482/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Factors that effect climate
• Latitude
• Elevation
• Winds
• Ocean currents
• Landforms – Rain shadow effect

World Climate Regions
• Low latitudes – (e.g., tropical wet, tropical wet and dry, arid,
semiarid, highland)– Between 30° N and 30° S– Usually Warm climate

World Climate Region
• Middle Latitudes– (e.g., semiarid, arid, Mediterranean [dry
summer subtropical], humid continental, marine west coast, highland)
– Usually temperate climate (hot and cold seasons)
– Between 30 and 60 N° and S°

World Climate Regions
• High latitudes – (e.g., subarctic, tundra, icecap)– Usually always cold – Between 60° and 75° N and S
