What is the common factor to affect climate?

• Temperature drops the higher up into the atmosphere that you go
• Temperature drops the further an area is from the equator
• Temperature drops at night when the sun goes down
• Temperature drops lower into the atmosphere that you go

How does latitude affect the climate of a place?

• Prevailing wind shows the main direction that wind comes from and can bring mild, wet weather if it blows over warm oceans.
• Prevailing wind is the amount of moisture that can be found in an area.
• Prevailing wind describes the speed of the wind in a particular place
• None of the above

How does prevailing wind affect climate?

• The higher up a place is the colder the temperature will be.
• The higher up a place is the warmer the temperature will be.
• The temperature remains the same throughout the atmosphere
• None of the above

How does altitude affect temperature?

• Cool breezes will cool both the coast and further inland.
• Warm breezes will bring warm air to the coast whilst inland will be cooler.
• Cool breezes will bring cooler air to the coast whilst inland will be warmer.
• None of the above

In the summer- how does distance from the sea affect the climate?

• The windward receives more precipitation than the leeward.
• The windward side receives more heat than the leeward side.
• The leeward side has more vegetation than the windward side.
• The leeward side receives more precipitation than the windward side.

How does the windward side differ from the leeward side of a high land?

• Less amount of thermal radiation is received by these areas.
• Less amount of gaseous particles trap heat from the surface.
• Great amount of thermal radiation is received by these areas.
• Great amount of gaseous particles trap heat from the surface.

Why are the coldest places on earth found at poles?

• It’s got to do with the climate change.
• It’s to do with the distance from the moon.
• It’s to do with the curve of the earth and distance from the equator.
• None of the above.
