WHAT IS CLIMATE ?
• DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WEATHER AND CLIMATE
- WEATHER: REFERERS TO THE CONDITIONS OF THE ATMOSPHERE AT A CERTAIN TIME AND PLACE. MANY FACTORS INFLUENCE THE WEATHER, SUCH AS
ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE, WIND, HUMIDITY AND PRECIPITATION.

- CLIMATE: REFERERS TO THE WEATHER PATTERNS IN A PLACE OVER A LONGE PERIORD OF TIME.
FACTORS: LATITUDE, DISTANCE FROM THE DISTANCE, RELIEF AND ALTITUDE.
FACTORS

• LATITUDE: IS THE ANGULAR DISTANCE BETWEEN THE EQUATOR (THE EQUATOR), AND A GIVEN POINT ON EARTH, MEASURED ALONG
THE MERIDIAN AT WHICH THAT POINT IS FOUND. DEPENDING ON THE HEMISPHERE IN WHICH THE POINT IS LOCATED, IT CAN BE NORTH
OR SOUTH LATITUDE.

• DISTANCE FROM THE SEA: THE SEA AFFECTS THE CLIMATE OF A PLACE. COASTAL AREAS ARE COOLER AND WETTER THAN
INLAND AREAS. CLOUDS FORM WHEN WARM AIR FROM INLAND AREAS MEETS COOL AIR FROM THE SEA.

• RELIEF: DESCRIBES THE NATURAL SHAPE OF THE EARTH’S SURFACE.

• ALTITUDE: IS THE HEIGHT OF AN AREA ABOVE SEA LEVEL. MOUNTAINS AND PLANTEAUS ARE HIGH- ELEVATIONS AREAS.
CLIMATE ZONES
• HOT ZONES: AREA NEAR OR ON THE EQUATOR.
THERE ARE TWO TIPES: EQUATORIAL CLIMATE AND TROPICAL CLIMATE.

• TEMPERATURES ZONES: AREA COOLER THAN ÁREAS ON THE EQUATOR.

THERE ARE THREE TYPES: OCEANIC CLIMATE, CONTINENTAL CLIMATE AND MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE.

• COLD ZONES: ÁREAS NEAR THE NORTH POLE OR THE SOUTH POLE EXPERIENCE A POLAR CLIMATE
• DESERT CLIMATES: ÁREA THAT DOES NOT ET A LOT OF PRECIPITATION THROUHT THE YEAR.
 CLIMATES IN SPAIN
• SPAIN IS IN A TEMPERATE CLIMATE ZONE. THE CLIMATE ACROSS SPAIN VARY FROM ONE
REGIÓN TO THE NEXT.
• YOU CAN FIND OCEANIC, CONTINENTAL, SUBTROPICAL, ALPINE AND MEDITERRANEAN
CLIMATES.
