2. As latitude increases solar
intensity will
decrease

3. Why is it cold at the Poles?
• Indirect solar radiation

4. Windward side of Mountain?
• Cool and wet

5. Higher elevations have…
• Cooler climates

6. Coastal climates are?
• Cooler summers and warmer winters

7. Heat and moisture move around the
Earth. What causes this?
• Global Winds

8. Low pressure zones like the equator
have….
• Clouds and rain, wet climates

9. Climate based on…
• Temperature
• precipitation

10. What does volcanic ash do to the
Earth’s overall temperature?
• Lowers it because the ash particles block out
a little bit of the sun from reaching the
surface

11. Gases that absorb IR (infrared
radiation)
• Number one: Carbon dioxide
• Number two: Methane

12. Leeward side of mountain…
• Drier because much of the moisture has
already been removed from the air

13. Windward
• Air rises
• Expands
• Cools
• Condenses
• rains

14. Oceans will…
• Moderate temperatures of cities located by
them
• Warmer winters, cooler summers which
equals a smaller temperature range

15. Mountainous areas will have….
• Lower average temperatures than
surrounding areas

16. What so special about London
England’s climate?
• The Gulf Stream keeps it much warmer than
otherwise should be

17. Low Latitude Temp. Graph

18. High Latitude Temp. Graph

19. Ozone Layer
• Filters out harmful UV rays from the sun

20. Ocean Currents- Cold or Warm?

21. Specific Heat. What does it mean?
• How much energy something needs to heat
up.
• Water has a high specific heat
• Takes a long time to heat up, but also a long
time to cool off

22. Imaginary Planet

the driest? Why?
Which location would be
coldest? Why?

Which location would
have the greatest
range in temperature?

23. Study
• Notes
• HW’s
• Studying does not simply mean looking things
over for 10 minutes
• Rewrite key points in notes
• Make flash cards etc…
• After school review
