Proximity to Bodies of Water
 WHAT ARE THE FACTORS THAT AFFECT
CLIMATE?

III. Surrounding bodies of water

 Surrounding bodies of water
• Soil absorbs heat faster than water.
At the same time, soil releases heat
faster compared to water.
• These slow absorption and release
of heat by the body of water greatly
affect the climate.
• Places that are near the oceans have
moderate climate as the body of
water regulates the temperature.
 Surrounding bodies of water
During day time, the
air above the sea is colder
than the air above the land
The warm air flows from
land to sea. Thus, the rise
of temperature on land
would be moderated.
 Surrounding bodies of water
During night
time, the warm air
would flow from sea
to land, making the
temperature on land
higher.
 How does closeness to a large
body of water affect climate?
Water __________
moderates the temperature.
Cooler summers. Warmer
_______ _______ winters.
Cities A & B are located
at the same latitude.
City B is closer to a large
body of water.

Its temperature line is

flatter (moderated).
 WHAT ARE THE FACTORS THAT AFFECT
CLIMATE?

V. Ocean Currents-
the continuous,
predictable, directional
movement of seawater
driven by gravity, wind
(Coriolis Effect), and
water density.
Ocean currents act much
like a conveyor belt,
transporting warm water
and precipitation from the
equator toward the poles
and cold water from the
poles back to the tropics.
 Ocean Currents
• In northern hemisphere, the
current flows in clockwise
direction.
• On the other hand, in southern
hemisphere the current flows
in counterclockwise direction.
• These clockwise and
counterclockwise of ocean
currents are caused by Coriolis
Effect.
•Coriolis effect is
the movement of
ocean current caused
by earth’s rotation.
 How do ocean currents
affect climate?

Warm Currents: warmer climate

Cold Currents: cooler climate
• 1. Why are the coldest places on earth found at the
poles?
A. great amount of gaseous particles trap heat from
the surface
B. great amount of thermal radiation is received by
these area
C. less amount of thermal radiation is received by
these areas
D. less amount of gaseous particles trap heat from the
surface
•2.Which part of the earth receives
most of the sun’s rays?
•A. South Hemisphere
•B. North Hemisphere
•C. Equator
•D. Western Hemisphere
• 3. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. When the place is farther from the equator, the air
temperature is lower resulting in a cold climate.
B. When the place is farther to the equator, the air
temperature is higher which results in a warm climate.
C. Due to the tilting of the earth’s axis, places farther
to the equator receive more heat making the air
temperature higher.
D. All of the above.
4. During summer, many people visit Baguio
because of the cold weather. What do you think
makes Baguio cold?
• A. The latitude
• B. The topography
• C. The altitude
• D. The distance from the ocean
5. Why do mountain climbers bring thick jackets when
they go up the mountain?
• A. The temperature increases as the altitude
increases.
• B. The temperature decreases as the altitude
increases.
• C. The altitude increases as the temperature
increases.
• D. The altitude decreases as the temperature
increases
6. Why do places at the same latitude but
different altitudes have different climate?
•A. Amount of heat received varies.
•B. Amount of precipitation differs.
•C. Higher altitudes have lower temperature
•D. Higher altitudes have higher
temperature
•7. What happens to the
temperature of air when altitude
increases?
•A. decreases
•B. increases
•C. remains the same
•D. varies
•8. What is the relationship between altitude and
climate?
•A. the higher the elevation is, the colder the
climate
•B. the higher the elevation is, the warmer the
climate
•C. the farther from the equator the area is, the
colder the climate
•D. the farther from the equator the area is, the
warmer the climate
•9. Which of the following statements describes
what happens when the sun heats water and
land?
•A. Land heats more slowly than water does.
•B. Water heats more slowly than land does.
•C. Water and Land absorb heat from the sun at
the same rate.
•D. Both absorb heat at the same rate, but water
releases it faster.
• 10.Which of the following is TRUE?
• A. During daytime, soil cools down faster than water,
so the air temperature above ground is lower than that
above the sea.
• B. Warm air then flows from land to sea, so the drop in
air temperature above ground is moderated.
• C. Places that are near the oceans have moderate
climate as the body of water regulates the temperature
• D. During night time, water cools down faster than
soil, so the air temperature above ground is lower than
that above the sea.
•11. Which side of the mountain often
receives the most precipitation?
•A. leeward side
•B. windward side

leeward.
• B. The leeward side has more vegetation than the
windward side
• C. The windward side receives more heat than the
leeward side.
• D. The leeward side receives more precipitation than
the windward side.
•14. Why does cloud formation disappear as the

mountain?
•A. The air condenses as it moves to the leeward
side.
