• Latitude

  • Distance from the equator influences temperature and climate patterns
  • Areas near the equator receive more direct sunlight and tend to be warmer
• Distance from the Sea

  • Proximity to large bodies of water moderates temperature extremes, leading to more stable climates
• Prevailing Winds

  • Wind patterns influence climate by transporting heat and moisture across regions
• Altitude


  • Higher altitudes generally have cooler temperatures due to lower atmospheric pressure and thinner air
• Relief Rainfall


  Moist air is forced to rise over mountains, cooling and condensing into rain clouds
• Convectional Rainfall


  Surface heating causes warm air to rise, cool, and condense into rain clouds
• Frontal Rainfall


  Different air masses (warm and cold) meet, leading to the lifting of warm air over cold air, resulting in rainfall
• Mid-latitude Cyclones (Depressions)


  • Regions of low pressure with rotating winds, often bringing precipitation and unsettled weather
• Anti-cyclones


  • High-pressure systems with sinking air, leading to stable weather conditions
• Synoptic charts


  Provide a snapshot of weather conditions over a large area at a specific time, showing features like pressure systems, fronts, and precipitation
• Mediterranean Climate


  • Characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters
• Equatorial Rainforests


  • Consistently high temperatures and heavy rainfall throughout the year, supporting lush vegetation
• Hot Deserts


  • Extremely dry with high temperatures during the day and cooler temperatures at night
• Global Warming/Greenhouse Effect


  Increase in Earth's average temperature due to the trapping of heat by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), emitted from human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation
• Depletion of the Ozone Layer

  Damage to the ozone layer, primarily caused by chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other ozone-depleting substances, leading to increased UV radiation reaching the Earth's surface
• Role of Young People in Dealing with Environmental Issues

  • Recognizing the importance of environmental conservation and advocating for sustainable practices
  • Engaging in activism, education, and community initiatives to address climate change and protect natural resources for future generations
