Spain has a variety of climates due to its geography and location. The main factors that influence climate are distance from the sea, altitude, and proximity to the equator. Regions closer to the coast have milder temperatures, while mountainous areas and those farther inland experience colder weather on average. Spain also experiences climatic variation between coastal, mountainous, and island regions.

1. The climates of Spain

2. Climates
• Climate is the weather in a particular region
over a long period of time. There are two
main elements in climates.T emperatures is
measured in degrees Celsius and precipitation
is measured in litres per square metre.
• The main factors that affect climate are
• Distance from the sea
• Altitude
• Distance from the equator

3. Factors that affect climate
• Distance from the sea –oceans heat u and
cool down more slowly than the land . As
result coastal temeratures are milder than
island temperatures
• Altitude -mountains regions have colder
temperatures than flat areas
• Distance from the equator- regions closer
from the equator recive rays from the sun
more directly than the north and south poles

4. The atmosphere and climates
• The atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding the earth.It is
made up of nitrogen and oxygen.It is essential for life.It
provides air and water to drink.The atmosphere is divide into
two layers
• The troposphere is the layer closest to the Earth’s surface the
planes fly here.
• The stratosphere is the layer above the troposphere.It conteins
a layer rich in ozone

5. Climates variation in Spain
• Spain is located in the temperate zone and
there are variations of climates between
diferent regions
• Coastal regions- have milder temperature
• Mountain regions – have a colder climate
• The canary islands have a warmer climate
