How do oceans affect the climate of an area?
The solar radiation is absorbed by ocean.
Ocean currents act much like a conveyor belt.
The ocean helps to distribute heat around the globe.
All of the above.
Which are the basis of classifying the types of climate of an area?
air pollution, wind, and temperature
precipitation, temperature, and wind
topography, wind, and water cycle
water cycle, wind, and precipitation
When moist winds approach a mountain, these often drop rain as winds rise over the mountain and come down on the other side. As the air comes down the leeward side, it warms, expands, and reduces the possibility of precipitation. How does this phenomenon affect the leeward side of the mountain?
The leeward side of the mountain is cooler and wet.
The leeward side of the mountain is cooler and drier.
The leeward side of the mountain is warmer and wet.
The leeward side of the mountain is warmer and drier.
During summer, many people visit Baguio because of the cold weather. What do you think makes Baguio cold?
latitude
altitude
topography
distance from the ocean
Why do places at the same latitude but different altitudes have different climate?
Different altitudes receive different amounts of precipitation
Different altitudes receive different amounts of heat
Places with higher altitudes have lower temperature
Places with higher altitudes have higher temperature

Why do mountain climbers bring thick jackets when they go up the mountain?
The temperature increases as the altitude increases.
The temperature decreases as the altitude increases.
The altitude increases as the temperature increases.
The altitude decreases as the temperature increases.
A diagram illustrating the movement of an air mass over a mountain is shown. How does the air in A differ from the air in B?

The air at A is more polluted than at B.
How does the windward side differ from the leeward side of a high land?
The windward receives more precipitation than the leeward.
