• As you learn more and more about earth, you may
start to feel appreciation for its extraordinary
landscapes and surprising variety. Though you may
live in a climate that is hot and dry, just one plane
ride can take you where you can find yourself
surrounded by snow-covered mountains or cooled
by coastal breezes.
• Earth is an awesome place.

Factors that Influence Climate
In the last lesson, you learned that climates on earth
are classified based on temperature and
precipitation. Four main factors influence the
temperature and precipitation in an area. They are:
• Geographic location
• Closeness to bodies of water
• Ocean currents
• Altitude, or height above sea level
![Page 9: UNIT 5 LESSON 12smithscience6.weebly.com/uploads/2/2/9/3/22938476/science_class… · UNIT 5 LESSON 12: Factors Affecting Climate Green Check when you have your study guide out and](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050407/5f848c8ab80aa1231a7954ed/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Location, Location, Location
Climate and latitude are closely related.
Remember that because of earth’s shape,
radiation from the sun heats its surface unevenly.
Locations closest to earth’s “bulge” at the equator
generally have a warmer climate than places at
higher latitudes.
![Page 10: UNIT 5 LESSON 12smithscience6.weebly.com/uploads/2/2/9/3/22938476/science_class… · UNIT 5 LESSON 12: Factors Affecting Climate Green Check when you have your study guide out and](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050407/5f848c8ab80aa1231a7954ed/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Quick Check • Locations closest to earth’s “bulge” at the equator
generally have a warmer climate than places at
higher latitudes.

By the Sea
Why are coastal areas generally windy? Land warms
up faster than water and radiates and conducts some
of its energy faster than the water does. During the
day, the air above the land heats more quickly and
becomes warmer than the air above the sea. As you
know, differences in air temperature over sea and
land will get a wind going.

• How does this affect climate? Ocean winds can
carry a great deal of moisture with them and can
bring rain and fog over inland areas. The climate of
the Pacific Northwest in the United States is greatly
affected by ocean winds that bring moisture to the
region's huge forests of Sitka spruce, Douglas fir, and
redwood.

• Ocean Currents Ocean currents affect the temperatures of some regions. Some ocean currents carry warm water into the north. The British Isles in western Europe, for example, have a warmer climate than other areas at the same latitude, such as Labrador, Canada. A current called the Gulf Stream brings warm water to the British Isles. The Gulf Stream helps keep the climate warmer than it would be otherwise. Other currents carry cold water away from polar regions and make the climate of the areas they travel to colder than it would be. Currents can warm or cool the air over them. The wind can carry that air into neighboring land areas.

Quick Check: • Currents do not have the power to affect the
climate of a particular area.

• Altitude In the Cascade Range in Washington, you can see how altitude affects climate. The mountains have snow on their peaks year-round. However, in nearby Seattle, it barely ever snows.
• Seattle is at a lower altitude than the mountains. At higher altitudes, the air is less dense. When air loses density, it also loses heat. So, the higher the altitude, the cooler the air temperature. Regions that are very mountainous are much colder than other lands at the same latitude.

• Barriers to Wind The shape of the land can influence climate. Mountain ranges may block even the strongest winds. This can increase or decrease the amount of precipitation that falls on the areas next to the mountains.
• When moisture-filled winds (orange arrows) hit the windward side, or wind-facing side, of mountains, rain or snow falls. This is because as the air is forced to rise, it cools and releases moisture. By the time the winds reach the opposite side of the mountains, most or all of their moisture has been lost.
• As a result, the downwind, or leeward, side of mountains is usually dry and cool.

Quick Check • The higher the altitude the __________ the air
temperature.
