Chapter 3 Weather and Climate The Big Idea The sun, location, wind, water, and mountains affect weather and climate. Main Ideas • While weather is short term, climate is a region’s average weather over a long period. • The amount of sun at a given location is affected by Earth’s tilt, movement, and shape. • Wind and water move heat around Earth, affecting how warm or wet a place is. • Mountains influence temperature and precipitation. Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company
2.
World Geography Chapter
3 Main Idea 1: While weather is short term, climate is a region’s average weather over a long period. Weather • The short-term changes in the air for a given place and time • Temperature and precipitation from hour to hour or day to day • Weather is unpredictable Climate • A region’s average weather conditions over a long period • The expected more predictable weather for a place based on data and experience Next Previous Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company
3.
World Geography Chapter
3 Main Idea 2: The amount of sun at a given location is affected by Earth’s tilt, movement, and shape. Movement • As Earth revolves around the sun, the part of Earth that is tilted toward the sun changes during the year, thus creating the seasons. Next Previous Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company Shape • Earth’s spherical shape means that the sun’s rays directly strike the equator, but only somewhat strike the poles. • The farther from the equator, or the higher the latitude, the colder the climate. Tilt • The part of the Earth tilted toward the sun receives more solar energy than the part tilted away from the sun.
4.
World Geography Chapter
3 Main Idea 3: Wind and water move heat around Earth, affecting how warm or wet a place is. • Air and water warmed by the sun are constantly on the move, making different areas of Earth warmer or cooler. • Wind, or the sideways movement of air, blows in great streams around the planet. • Prevailing winds are winds that blow in the same direction over large areas of Earth Next Previous Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company
5.
World Geography Chapter
3 Wind • Weight of air – Cold air is heavier than warm air. – When air cools, it gets heavier and sinks. – When air warms, it gets lighter and rises. – As warm air rises, cooler air moves in to take its place, creating wind. • The rising, sinking, and flowing of air creates Earth’s prevailing wind patterns. – At the equator, hot air rises and flows toward the poles. – At the poles, cold air sinks and flows toward the equator. – Earth’s rotation causes prevailing winds to curve east or west. • Prevailing winds can make a region warmer or colder and drier or wetter. Next Previous Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company
6.
World Geography Chapter
3 Water and Wind • Ocean currents—large streams of surface seawater driven by winds—move heat around Earth. – Carry warm or cool water to different areas – Water’s temperature affects air temperature near it. • Large bodies of water, such as an ocean or sea, also affect climate. –Water heats and cools more slowly than land does. – Large bodies of water make the temperature of the land nearby milder. • The place where two air masses of different temperatures or moisture content meet is a front. – Can produce rain, snow, thunderstorms, and blizzards Next Previous Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company
7.
World Geography Chapter
3 Storms Thunderstorms • Produce rain, lightning, and thunder • Most common in spring and summer Blizzards • Produce strong winds and large amounts of snow Tornadoes • Small, rapidly twisting funnel of air that touches the ground Hurricanes and Typhoons • Large, rotating storms that form over tropical waters in the Atlantic Ocean (hurricanes) or Pacific Ocean (typhoons). • Produce drenching rains, strong winds, and storm surges • Largest, most destructive storms Next Previous Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company
8.
World Geography Chapter
3 Main Idea 4: Mountains influence temperature and precipitation. • Mountains can influence an area’s climate by affecting both temperature and precipitation. • Temperature decreases with elevation, the height on Earth’s surface above sea level. • Mountains also create wet and dry areas. – Air blowing against mountains is forced to rise. – As the air rises, it cools and precipitation falls. –This effect produces a rain shadow, a dry area on the mountainside facing away from the direction of the wind.

3 World Climates The Big Idea Earth’s five major climate zones are identified by temperature, precipitation, and plant life. Main Ideas • Geographers use temperature, precipitation, and plant life to identify climate zones. • Tropical climates are wet and warm, while dry climates receive little or no rain. • Temperate climates have the most seasonal change. • Polar climates are cold and dry, while highland climates change with elevation. Next Previous Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company
11.
World Geography Chapter
3 Main Idea 1: Geographers use temperature, precipitation, and plant life to identify climate zones. • Earth is divided into five general climate zones. – Tropical—occur near the equator, in low latitudes – Temperate—occur about halfway between the equator and the poles, in the middle latitudes – Polar—occur near the poles, in the high latitudes – Dry—occurs at many different latitudes – Highland—occurs at many different latitudes • Geographers divide some climate zones into more specific climate regions. Next Previous Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company
12.
World Geography Chapter
3 Main Idea 2: Tropical climates are wet and warm, while dry climates receive little or no rain. Humid Tropical Climate • At the equator • Warm, muggy and rainy year-round Next Previous Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company Tropical Savanna Climate • North and south away from the equator • Long, hot, dry season followed by short periods of rain

3 Dry Climates Desert Climate • Earth’s hottest and driest climate • Receive less than 10 inches of rain a year Next Previous Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company Steppe Climate • Often border deserts • Receive slightly more rain than deserts • Short grasses are most common plants, but shrubs and trees grow along streams and rivers.

World Geography Chapter
3 Main Idea 3: Temperate climates have the most seasonal change. Temperate Climates • Mild and tend to have four seasons – Warm or hot summers – Cool or cold winters • Occur in the middle latitudes, the regions halfway between the equator and the poles Next Previous Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company
17.
World Geography Chapter
3 Temperate Climates Mediterranean • Sunny, pleasant climate occurring mainly in coastal areas • Summers hot, dry, and sunny; winters mild and somewhat wet Humid Subtropical • Occurs along east coasts near the tropics • Summers are hot and muggy; winters are mild • Storms occur year-round. Marine West Coast • Occurs on west coasts where winds carry moisture in from the seas • Mild temperatures year-round Humid Continental • Occurs closer to the poles, in the upper-middle latitudes • Four distinct seasons Next Previous Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company

3 Main Idea 4: Polar climates are cold and dry, while highland climates change with elevation. Next Previous Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company Tundra Climate • Coastal areas along the Arctic Ocean • Long, bitterly cold winters • In some parts is permafrost, or permanently frozen layers of soil Ice Cap Climate • North and South poles • Temperature lows of more than - 120F • Snow and ice remain year-round, but little precipitation Highland Climate • Found on mountains • Includes polar climates plus others; several climates in one • As you go up a mountain, temperatures drop and plant life grows sparser. Subarctic Climate • Occurs mainly in Northern hemisphere south of Arctic Ocean • Winters are long and bitterly cold; summers short and cool • Below freezing half the year
