What are the two main factors that determine climate?
sea level
because bodies of water heat up and cool off more slowly than land
the curve of Earth
The sun’s energy drives the water cycle, which determines precipitation.
the uneven heating of the Earth by the sun
observations of the weather
temperature and precipitation
