What are Ocean currents, latitude, and elevation?
The climate of a region is affected by these three factors.
What is latitude?
Expressed as a degree north or south of the equator.
What is oblique (not direct) sunlight?
The poles receive this type of sunlight.
What is 6.5°C?
The temperature in the atmosphere decreases by this amount per 1000 meters.
What is reflect, or back-scatter?
Incoming solar radiation does this when it encounters clouds or air.
What is Range = Max temperature - Min temperature?
The daily temperature range is calculated by finding the difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures.
What is Maritime Climate?
This type of climate is near to the sea and has moderated temperatures.
What are Warm ocean currents?
These currents flow from the equator and have a warming effect on coastlines.
What is Wind?
This factor lowers the temperature experienced outside by encouraging evaporation.

This factor lowers the temperature experienced outside by encouraging evaporation.
What is continental climate?
This type of climate is far from the sea and has extreme temperatures.
What are ocean currents?
These act as conveyor belts of heat, influencing regional climates by transporting warm or cold water.
