Factors affecting climaate

Cards (8)

  • Soil absorbs heat faster than water
  • Soil releases heat faster than water
  • water - is a slow conductor of heat
  • During daytime - places without a body of water nearby tend to have higher air temperature
  • At nigh - soils cools down faster than water, so the air temperature above ground is lower than above the sea
  • Places that are far from bodies of water have extreme climates
  • Water absorbs more heat during summer
  • In winter - the surrounding water slowly releases heat causing the cooling effect to become lesser than normal in the nearby landmass
