Climate and ze weazer

• Weather. A short term condition of the atmosphere in a given location
• The Weather can be anything on any given day

  True
• Climate is the long-term, average condition of the atmosphere for a location
• Equator. The line 0° latitude, and devides the globe into the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere.
• Tropic of cancer. North
• Tropic of Capricorn. South
• Artic circle. North
• Antartic circle. South
• Artic circle has a 66.6° latitude.
• Tropic of Cancer has a 23.5° latitude
• Equator has 0° latitude
• Tropic of Capricorn has 23.5° latitude
• Antartic circle has a 66.6° latitude
• Earths main climate regions:

  Tropic or torrid zone

  Temperate zone

  Polar zone / frigid zone
• Tropic zone. The hottest part of the earth, is between tropic of cancer and capricorn
• Places in this zone like the Philippines have a tropical climate which means it is hot all year long

  Tropic zone
• Temperate zone. Located between the tropic and Artic of the north and south. Is relatively colder than the tropic zones.
• Four seasons: winter, summer, spring, and autumn
• Places in this zone experience four seasons

  Temperate zone
• This can also be called as frigid zone 

  Polar zone
• Polar zone. Also known as the frigid zone, is the coldest part of the earth
• The hottest part of the earth is along the equator which is the low latitude

  True
• The coldest part of the earth is at the polar regions, which are the highest latitude

  True
• As you move away from the equator, the temperature decreases
• The equator recieves the most of the sun rays making the equator hot
• Places far from the equator recieve less direct sunlight

  True
• Altitude. The height above the mean sea level
• Sea level. Is the level of the sea at a particular time
• Altitude of mt.kilimanjaro is 5895m 
• Latitude. The measurement of north and south ranging from the equator
• Two major seasons in the ph:

  Rainy. June to november

  Dry. Dec to may
• Climate is affected by:

  Latitude

  Altitude

  Topography

  Distance to oceans
• Ocean currents are caused by the winds, earthquakes, and gravity
• Ocean currents may be warm or hot
• Factors affecting climate :

  Temperature and precipitation
• Factors affecting precipitation:

  Prevailing winds and Mountain ranges
• Windard side. Recieves moist air and has more precipitation, and has a cold and wet climate
• Leeward side. Has very little precipitation
• Warm air holds more moisture than cold air does

  True
• Warm air cools as it rises
