Seasonal distribution of Precipitation

More precipitation in the summer months and less in the winter months ( not consistent year round)

Consistent rainfall year round

Type of Precipitation

(HINT: Not Rain or Snow)

Convectional precipitation (the sun evaporates water from the ground causing it to rain) this likely occurs in places with warmer summers colder winters

This is likely to relieve precipitation coming from nearby lakes or oceans which will result in consistent rainfall year round.

Predominant Factors Affecting Climate. Identify two factors.

(HINT: LOWERN)

1. Near water 

   1. This location is likely NOT near water as water has a moderating effect of the weather and this location has fluctuating rainfall and temperature due to the absence of water.

2. Wind currents 

   1. This place likely experiences dry and warm continental winds which will result in the increased temperature and precipitation (convectional precipitation)

1. Near water

   1. This location is likely near water because its location near water will result in a moderating effect and more precipitation

2. Relief

   1. Due to the constant amount of rain it is safe to assume that this location is near mountains and experiences quite a bit of precipitation.

Station a has a temp range of 19.7 and station b has a temp range of 38. This is likely because the first graph is likely a coastal location where the temperature will be moderated by the ocean resulting in an increase in precipitation but smaller temperature range. The second location is likely a continental climate as the weather is more fluctuating and has more variety as well as much less precipitation due to its central location and lack of nearness to water.

Seasonal distribution of Precipitation

More precipitation in the summer month however a generally even amount year round (little precipitation)

Much more rain in the colder months and the amount of rain year round fluctuates

Type of Precipitation

(HINT: Not Rain or Snow)

This is likely convectional precipitation as there is the most rain in the hotter monts

This is likely cyclonic precipitation as it is usually happening in the months of changing seasons where warm and cold air can collide and it's the most common for winter precipitation

Predominant Factors Affecting Climate. Identify two factors.

(HINT: LOWERN)

1. Near water

   1. This location is not near water which results in the large temp range and lack of precipitation

2. Latitude

   1. This place likely has low latitude and is farther from the equator resulting in a colder overall temperature year-round, the high doesn't go past 8.

1. Wind currents

   1. Warm and cool wind currents likely collide in thai area resulting in some range in temperature as well as cyclonic precipitation in the winter months

2. Near water

   1. This pace is likely near water as there is lots of precipitatio and i small temperature rane  due to waters moderating affect.

Factor

Effect on Climate

L - Latitude

Latitude is a location close to the equator. If it is closer to the equator it will have hotter temperatures and if it is farther away from the equator the temperatures will be much colder.

O - Ocean Currents

Depending on the specific ocean currents it will impact the climate differently. If your location is near warm ocean currents coming from the equator or the tropics it will cause the weather to be warmer and if the ocean currents are colder coming from the poles then it will result in colder temperature.

W - Wind and/or Air Masses

Depending on the specific wind currents they will have a different effect on the climate. Continental areas have warm dry winds, some places experience polar cold dry winds or coastal/ maritime winds are wet and cold or warm depending on the coast.

E - Elevation

The higher up you are/more elevation you have the colder it will be

R - Relief (mountains)

If you are on the windward side of a mountain you are to experience much more relief precipitation and if you are on the leeward side of a mountain you are going to experience a much dryer climate as the mountains will prevent the rain from transferring over

 for example: vancouver and kamloops

NEARNESS TO WATER

The closer you are to water the more precipitation you will receive and there will be a moderating affect on the temperature and vise versa`

Slightly under one million possibly 0.9 million (15-19)

Slightly over one million (1.1 mil)

It is decreasing

It is decreasing (people are living longer)

Healthcare, retirement homes, recreational facilities (lawn bowling), travel facilities

Approx 150,000

Approx 40,000,000

Approx 8 billion

We are decreasing/ people are having less children

It is generally stable but people are living longer on average due to advanced medicine etc so possibly increasing as well.

This is increasing, we are experiencing an abundance of immigrants

Slight increase in emigration in the past years but generally stable

Firstly there could be a negative growth where there are more older people than younger people which might cause issues for the future of the society. Also if people are generally living longer that will likely result in a higher population causing issues on dividing resources and services. Also as there is a lower birth rate, when these children grow up there will be less workers and service people to support the older generations. This can be solved by populating Canada with immigrants or skilled trade workers who are qualified to work in the jobs where we are lacking people. However in the end it might be beneficial that we will start having a smaller population because the world is getting overpopulated.

Population/ land area 

Births- deaths/ population x1000

Immigration- emigration/ populationx1000

Immigration-emmigration + Births-deaths / population x 100

1. Many people are populated in southern Ontario near the great lakes surrounded by lots of prime agriculture and farming.

2. Many people live near the great lakes along the border as they provide many benefits to resources and climate

3. Many companies/ factories are along the border due to the location near the us and the ability to transport goods easily etc

Push Factors for Immigrants

Pull Factors for Immigrants

1. Maybe there is lots of war and violence in their previous country and they come to Canada as a refugee in search of safety.

1. Free healthcare/ proper medical support

2. They may be struggling with poverty and lack of wealth, food and a home

2.  Higher wages, better employment opportunities and overall better standard of living.

3. Possibly lots of natural disasters in the previous place or an unstable government, no respect for their rights, pollution etc

3. More political and religious freedom and better overall safety.

Type of Immigrant

Economic

Humanitarian

Some are evaluated by a point system where you need to earn at least 75 points to pass and others are evaluated based on 4-5 standards or criteria in order for them to pass.
