SUMMARY

•Climate is the overall

atmospheric condition of a
place for a period of 30
years or more.
•Climate is influenced by
latitude, altitude, distance
from bodies of water,ocean
currents, and topography.
•The closer the place is to the
equator, the warmer the climate
is; the farther the place is from
the equator the colder the climate
is.
•Air temperature decreases
when altitude increases.
•Bodies of water help
regulate the climate of a
certain area.
•Mountain ranges affect
the formation of
precipitation.
•Ocean currents will either
cool or warm the air above
them.
