Explain how each factor affects the climate of the place.

II. SUBJECT MATTER:

Unit - Climate
Topic How altitude, latitude, bodies of water, amount of rainfall and wind system affect the
climate of a place.
A. Science Concept/Idea:
Altitude - affects the climate of a place because with higher altitude have a colder climate
than those with lower altitude which have a hotter climate.
Latitude Regions near the equator where the sun shines directly overhead have a hotter
climate than those farther away.
Bodies of water affects the climate of a place because in places where there are big bodies
of water have more rain
Wind system in a place affect its climate because, in low pressure areas, there is warmer
wind while in high pressure areas, there is cooler wind.
Amount of rainfall in a place affects its climate because, places like those in deserts, where
there is less amount of rainfall have hotter climate while places where there is more amount
of rainfall have colder climate.
