PPT-V. Types of Climates A. Shapers of Climate

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. Francisci. WG.2a. The . low. latitude climates are always . between. the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of . Capricorn. .. The climate is . tropical. , wet, hot and . humid. .. Low Latitude Climates. Factors that influence climate.. 1. Latitude. 2. Distance from sea / ocean. 3. Prevailing winds and air masses. Latitude. Latitude is the distance north or south of the equator.. In general, the further north or south of the equator an area is, the colder it will be.. 1 Climates First Prosimians Anthropoids Hominids Miocene Climates Thomas Gale Moore Senior Fellow Hoover Institution Stanford University Prepared for the conference on: Global Climate Change at Rice University September 6 to 8, 2000 1 It is the best of Climates; It Chapter 3. Seasons. Solstice:. . Marks the longest or shortest day of the year. . Winter solstice: December. Summer Solstice: June. Seasons. Equinox: . Even days of sunlight and darkness. .. Fall: September.

Low Latitude Climates. Climate Regions of the World . What factors are used to classify climates?. What are the six main climate regions?. The big idea. Scientists classify climates according to two major factors:. Temperature. Climate. encompasses the statistics of temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, rainfall, atmospheric particle count and other meteorological elemental measurements in a given region over long periods. . Planet Earth can be divided into three basic climate zones:. Tropical. Temperate . Polar. Major Climate Zones. Tropical Climates. Occur near the equator and the lower latitudes. Includes:. Rainforests that are warm. Directions (You don’t have to write anything for this slide). Continue this note-taking/activity assignment on the same page as you completed Discussion #1.. Remember all notes are taken on the left side of your notebook and all questions and activities are completed on the right.. Climatology. is . the study of Earth’s climate and the factors that affect past, present, and future climatic changes.. Climate describes annual variations of temperature, precipitation, wind, and other weather factors.. History: . Ancient Greeks used to classify the environment into zones which had different degrees of warmth. This resulted in Aristotle describing the terrain in terms of flora and fauna. . Main characteristics and variables used to define biomes is: . Students will construct explanations and design solutions in order to show how atmospheric flow, geographic features, and ocean currents affect the climate of a region through heat transfer, highlighting that sub-systems make up a larger system..
