A biome is a large geographical region with plants and animals that are able to live in that location with its particular climate because they have adapted in different ways to the amounts of water, heat, and soil in that area.. Unit 1: Geographic Literacy. Geography 20F. How the World Works!. To understand the complexities of Geography we have to look at our three main ideas: . 1) What is Where?. 2) Why There? . 3) Why Care? . Effects on Climate. Weather – changes in temperature, wind, air, etc. over a short period of time. Climate – weather patterns in a particular area over many years.. The sun’s rays do not hit the Earth evenly. So air and water help distribute the sun’s heat over the entire world.. Goosse. , . Hugues. , 2015: . Climate System Dynamics and Modelling. , (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK), 378 pp..

The main shapers of climate are temperature, precipitation, and wind.. These factors form global patterns. Temperatures are warmest in and around the tropics and coolest near the poles.. Precipitation is greatest near the Equator.. Many regions close to the equator experience an equatorial climate. These . regions 0° - 10° N and S of the equator . include, the Amazon Basin (South America), the Congo Basin (Africa), Malaysia, Indonesia and some areas in northern .
