What is climate?*It is weather conditions prevailing in an area in
general or over a long period of time.
*It determines the type of plants and animals that can survive, and influences how people live.
*It is determined by averaging the weather of a region over a long period of time, such as 30
years.

One way mountains can affect the climate is by Elevation
What is elevation?The altitude of a place above sea
level or at ground level

How many times have you seen snow on the top of mountains when there
was none in the city below?

The reason for this is: Elevation
-The higher the elevation, the lower the temperature becomes.
-The rate at which temperature drops is known as a lapse rate.

Another way mountains can affect the climate is by rain shadows
What is a rain shadow?
A rain shadow is where rain does not fall. Deserts can form in rain shadow
regions.

-Mountains act as barriers blocking rain and wind
-One side of a mountain may have be experiencing a different climate then the other side. This could cause the mountain to create a rain shadow.

-On the windward side of a mountain range, air rises, cools, and drops its moisture
-On the leeward side of a mountain range air descends, heats up, and dries the land

Windward vs. Leeward
Windward Leeward
rainfall dry
cool warm
wet air sinks
air rises
