CLIMATE
HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE IT?
Climate isnotweather (daily meteorologicalconditions like air pressure, humidity,temperature, precipitation, winds, sunshine orcloudiness) but the average weather patternsand behavior over a long period of time

higher elevations =less pressure(gravity)
less pressure = gasmolecules expand

Why is it warmer at the equator than at thepoles?
How does water moderate temperature?
How does the ocean current circulation affectthe globe?
Why does the temperature drop as you go upa mountain?

Terrain includes elevation andproximity to bodies of water, alsoincludes:
Topography (shape of land)
Vegetation coverage
TibetanPlateau
Gobi Desert
Topography
Valley and Mountain Breezes
24-hr convection cycles
During the day, warm mountains cause heat to rise, pulls air up fromvalley
During the night, as mountain cools, cooler air sinks down into the valley
