Latitude, altitude, distance from the sea, relief of the land, and proximity to large bodies of water all influence a region's climate, with latitude affecting temperature, altitude making high places cooler, and proximity to the ocean moderating temperatures. Climate further impacts the types of plants and animals that can survive in different areas, like the diversity of species found in tropical rainforests near the equator.

2. There are different factor that
influence the climate of the
different zones.

3. Latitude
It is the measurement of the
distance of a place from the
Equator. It affects the temperature
of a place.

5. Altitude
It is the height of a place above the
sea level. High places are usually
cooler than low places.

6. Snowing on Chirripó mountain.
3820 meter above sea level.

7. Distance from the sea.
The distance from the sea has an effect on the land
around. In places near the sea are cooler in summer
and warmer in winter.

9. The relief
It is the shape of land that can affect weather
conditions. For example: mountain ranges can
stop the sea air from reaching inland areas.

11. Importance of climate
It is important because it influences the
fauna and the flora from different places.
For example: places near the equator have
rainforest which contain a huge variety of
vegetation and animal life.
