What are the two main factors that determine climate?
temperature and precipitation
sea level
stream-like movements of water that happen near the surface of the ocean
observations of the weather
the curve of Earth
because bodies of water heat up and cool off more slowly than land
The higher the latitude, the colder the air temperature.
The sun’s energy drives the water cycle, which determines precipitation.
The latitude of a place affects its climate, in particular its temperature. Which sentence best describes how latitude and air temperature are related?
temperature and precipitation
sea level
stream-like movements of water that happen near the surface of the ocean
observations of the weather
the curve of Earth
because bodies of water heat up and cool off more slowly than land
The higher the latitude, the colder the air temperature.
The sun’s energy drives the water cycle, which determines precipitation.
The sun’s energy influences climate in different ways. How does the sun’s energy most directly influence precipitation in an area?
temperature and precipitation
sea level
stream-like movements of water that happen near the surface of the ocean
observations of the weather
the curve of Earth
because bodies of water heat up and cool off more slowly than land
The higher the latitude, the colder the air temperature.

Why do coastal areas have cooler summers than inland areas at the same latitude?
temperature and precipitation
sea level
stream-like movements of water that happen near the surface of the ocean
observations of the weather
the curve of Earth
because bodies of water heat up and cool off more slowly than land
The higher the latitude, the colder the air temperature.

Surface currents can affect climate and weather. What are surface currents?
temperature and precipitation
sea level
stream-like movements of water that happen near the surface of the ocean
observations of the weather
the curve of Earth
because bodies of water heat up and cool off more slowly than land
The higher the latitude, the colder the air temperature.

temperature and precipitation
sea level
stream-like movements of water that happen near the surface of the ocean
observations of the weather
the curve of Earth
because bodies of water heat up and cool off more slowly than land
The higher the latitude, the colder the air temperature.

Climates in higher latitudes are generally colder than climates in lower latitudes. What causes some areas of Earth to receive less intense solar energy than others?
temperature and precipitation
sea level
stream-like movements of water that happen near the surface of the ocean
observations of the weather
the curve of Earth
because bodies of water heat up and cool off more slowly than land
The higher the latitude, the colder the air temperature.
