Factor Affecting Climate

What is the definition of weather?

• The height of an area above sea level

• The average weather conditions in a place over many years

• The natural features or arrangement of an area

• A mix of events or conditions that happen in our atmosphere over a period of hours or days

What is the difference between weather and climate?

• Weather refers to the average weather conditions in a place over many years, while climate is a mix of events or conditions that happen in our atmosphere over a period of hours or days

• Weather is the average weather conditions in a place over many years, while climate is a mix of events or conditions that happen in our atmosphere over a period of hours or days

• Weather is a mix of events or conditions that happen in our atmosphere over a period of hours or days, while climate refers to the average weather conditions in a place over many years

• Weather is the height of an area above sea level, while climate is the natural features or arrangement of an area

What are the most important elements of climate?

• Latitude, topography, and ocean currents

• Temperature, altitude, and topography

• Latitude, altitude, and distance to oceans

• Temperature, humidity, and rainfall

What is the effect of altitude on air temperature?

• The lower an area is, the colder the temperature is

• Altitude has no effect on air temperature

• The higher an area is, the colder the temperature is

• The higher an area is, the warmer the temperature is

What is the reason for the milder winter in Glasgow compared to Moscow?

• Glasgow is nearer to the coast than Moscow

• Glasgow is at a higher altitude than Moscow

• Glasgow is at a lower latitude than Moscow

• Glasgow has more landlocked areas than Moscow

What causes the clockwise and counterclockwise movements of ocean currents?

• Wind and earthquakes

• Earthquakes and gravity

• Coriolis effect

• Gravity and wind

What is the effect of warm ocean currents on coastal regions?

• It increases the temperature of the place

• It decreases the temperature of the place

• It causes extreme temperature fluctuations

• It has no effect on the temperature

What is the effect of landlocked areas on climate?

• They tend to have cooler temperatures and higher average precipitation

• They tend to have warmer temperatures and lower average precipitation

• They tend to have cooler temperatures and lower average precipitation

• They tend to have warmer temperatures and higher average precipitation

What is the reason for the dry region on the leeward side of a mountain?

• The wind is blocked by the mountain, forcing it to move upward and causing precipitation

• The air on the leeward side absorbs heat and becomes warm and dry

• The air on the leeward side has higher humidity, preventing precipitation

• The air on the leeward side has lower humidity, preventing precipitation

What is the effect of distance to oceans on coastal locations?

• Coastal locations tend to have warmer temperatures in summer and cooler temperatures in winter

• Coastal locations tend to have cooler temperatures in summer and warmer temperatures in winter

• Coastal locations tend to have extreme temperature fluctuations throughout the year

• Distance to oceans has no effect on the temperature of coastal locations
