What is elevation?
the depth of the ocean
the height of the atmosphere
the depth of a lake
the height above sea level
What is the temperature and humidity of a mountain region?
very warm in summer and cooler in other seasons with high humidity
Low temperatures due to altitude, humidity is lower the higher you go
very hot temperatures during the day and cold at night, little to no humidity
very cold year round, high humidity

polar, tropical, humid
What climate zone is located near the equator where the sun is directly overhead all year?
polar
tropical
desert
temperate
Which factor does NOT affect the kind of climate an area has?
distance from the equator (latitude)
elevation
proximity to bodies of water
wind direction
These areas are located between 23.5°N and 23.5°S of the equator. These zones receive direct sun rays, have higher temperatures, and lots of rain.

convection current
ocean current
convection oven
climate zone
The climate of a particular region is NOT affected by:
latitude
minerals
nearby water
elevation
