The document discusses factors that influence climate, including vertical distance from the sea, distance from the equator, specific heat grade, quantity of steam water in the atmosphere, air movement, and atmospheric pressure. These climate factors affect temperature, precipitation, wind, and illnesses in different locations like Barcelona and Haparanda. The document also examines how climate impacts the distribution of plants and animals in these places.

3. • Vertical distance from the sea
• It influences the temperature of air mass:
– 100m  0,65ºC due to the air composition
E
HOT
COLD

4. • Distance from the Equator
• The Earth is divided in:
– North Pole
– Cancer Tropic
– Equator
– Capricorn tropic
– South Pole

5. • Warm climates
• Temperate climates
– Mediterranean Barcelona
• Cold climates
– Subpolar  Haparanda

6. • Specific heat grade
• Depends on the solar
radiation which is absorbed
by the atmosphere
• Thermometer
• Fire and pollution

10. • Quantity of steam water in the
atmosphere
• Depends on the evaporation
(sea, lakes…), the temperature
and the
• place
• Psychrometer
• They cause:
– -Clouds: visible
acumulation of water droplets
or solid ice crystals.
• Rainfall and snow

19. • There are some illnesses that are caused by the climate:
– Excess of solar radiation Skin cancer
– Atmospheric pressure  Heart attack
– Lack of sunlight  Depressions and Suicides
 Rickets
– Air pollution  Chronic respiratory diseases

24. Climate is very important for
everybody:
people, animals, plants, and for the
Earth (a climatic change would be a
devastating situation)
Just say thanks to everybody that has
made possible this project:
Comenius, Rosa Cols, Montse
Batiste, Toni Valls…
