Describe the climate of Ecuador.

• The climate in Ecuador is the same as in the Antartica.

• The climate in Ecuador tastes delicious.

• The coastal lowlands in the western part of Ecuador are typically warm. The climate in Quito is consistent with that of a subtropical highland climate. In the top of the volcanoes we find a polar climate.

• It is a power current with negative charge.

How does the Humboldt Current affect the climate in the Coast?

• It affects the water and air temperatures of coastal Chile, Peru and Ecuador; by bringing cold water north from the South Pacific.

• It allows people to go to the beach during the summer but not during the winter

• The Humboldt current does not affect the climate in the coast.

How is the movement of the Earth related to the climate in different regions?

• The movement of the Earth is not related to the climate in different regions.

• Because of its spherical shape incoming solar radiation is not equally distributed over the planet. This produces different climates in different regions.

What are exogenous processes?

• It is all the processes that are produced at the surface of the Earth.

• It is the processes that happen on outer space.

• It is the processes buses and cars use, to release toxic gases.
