WHAT ARE THE MAIN FACTORS THAT AFFECT CLIMATE? 1. Distance from the sea: regions that are close to the sea have milder temperatures than inland regions.
2. Altitude: the regions that are higher than others, have lower temperatures and more precipitations.
3. Distance from the Equator: regions closer to the Equator have warmer climates.
