Question

Five factors that affect climate

Answer 1

Answer:

Five factors that affect climate:

1. ocean currents
2. topography
3. latitude
4. distance from the sea
5. prevailing winds

Explanation:

These factors are the most important factors that affect the Climate of a region.

Ocean currents: the ocean currents moves warm water and precipitation from the equator towards the pole and it also moves cold water from the poles back to the tropics, this action helps to regulate the climate

Topography : the shape of the land affects the climate like for places with hills or mountains the climate there is usually harsher than low lands because the hills obstruct the free flow of air and rain clouds.

latitude : places closer to the equator have warmer climate conditions considered to places at the poles.

distance from sea: areas closer to the sea have cooler climate conditions than ares farther from the seas, warm winds from inland mix up with cool airs to form clouds.

prevailing winds: warm air travelling across water collects moisture and takes it to the coastal areas where they are condensed and later fall as rain.

1. Altitude
2. Latitude
