• Get hotter by 0.5 degrees

• Get colder by 1-2 degrees

Higher altitudes equal...

• hotter temperatures

• colder temperatures

• smaller mountains

• increased oxygen

The closer you are to the ocean the:

• climate will be hotter in summer and colder in winter

• more variety of vegetation and climate you will find
