Factors Affecting Temperature

The video tutorial by Imstar explores four key factors affecting temperature: latitude, distance from the sea, prevailing winds, and altitude. Latitude influences temperature based on proximity to the equator, with equatorial regions being hotter. Distance from the sea affects temperature range, with coastal areas experiencing milder climates. Prevailing winds impact temperature depending on their origin, with sea winds moderating temperatures. Altitude affects temperature as higher elevations are cooler due to lower air density. The video concludes with a summary of these factors.

What is the primary focus of the video tutorial?

• The impact of climate change

• The importance of weather forecasting

• Factors affecting temperature

• The history of meteorology

Why are places near the equator generally hotter?

• They are closer to the sea

• The Sun's rays are more direct

• They receive more rainfall

• They have more vegetation

What is the effect of the Sun being directly overhead?

• It causes widespread cooling

• It concentrates heat on a small area

• It disperses heat evenly

• It has no effect on temperature

How does the sea influence temperature in coastal areas during summer?

• It causes temperatures to rise rapidly

• It keeps temperatures lower

• It makes temperatures fluctuate wildly

• It has no effect on temperature

What happens to temperatures in inland areas far from the sea during winter?

• They become warmer

• They are unaffected by the sea

• They become extremely cold

• They remain mild

How do prevailing winds affect temperature in Britain?

• They make summers warmer

• They make winters colder

• They make summers cooler and winters warmer

• They have no effect on temperature

What determines the temperature of a wind?

• Its humidity

• Its altitude

• Its speed

• Its direction

Why is it generally cooler at higher altitudes?

• There is less sunlight

• There is more vegetation

• The air is less dense

• The air is denser

What happens to snow at high altitudes in hot places?

• It evaporates

• It melts quickly

• It turns into rain

• It stays longer

Which factor is NOT discussed as affecting temperature in the video?

• Humidity

• Altitude

• Latitude

• Distance from the sea
