weather
climate
The ocean heats up slower than land. When air heats above land, it rises and cooler air above the ocean moves onto the land, creating a cool sea breeze and keeping temperatures lower and more moderate.
Distance from the sea
Distance drom the equator: Latitude
Mountains (Relief)
Ocean Currents
Height above sea level: Altitude
The equator receives direct sunlight and causes areas around the equator to be warm all year long. The poles receive less direct sunlight and cause these areas to be cooler all year long.
Distance from the sea
Distance drom the equator: Latitude
Mountains (Relief)
Ocean Currents
Height above sea level: Altitude
The higher you are above sea level, the less air molecules there will be. This results in cooler temperatures at high altitudes and warmer temperatures near sea level.
Distance from the sea
Distance drom the equator: Latitude
Mountain ( Relief)
Ocean Currents
Height above sea level: Altitude
Mountains act as a barrier for moisture. When clouds move from the ocean towards the mountains, the air rises quickly and cools, resulting in precipitation.
Distance from the sea
Latitude
Mountain Relief
Ocean Currents
Elevation
As the air at the equator is heated, it expands and moves towards the colder poles. Cold air at the poles moves towards the equator. This happens all year long due to unequal heating of the Earth’s surface.
