    World Climates

    Presented by Miss Maya


    Introduction
    Climate is the condition of the
    atmosphere near the Earth's
    surface at a certain place on
    Earth. Two of the most
    important factors determining
    an area's climate are air
    temperature and precipitation.
    0
    A climate zone: 1
    is a region of the world in which the climate can be
    defined. The classification of climatic zones is
    based on maximum and minimum temperatures and
    the temperature range, as well as the total and
    seasonal distribution of precipitation
    ● Latitude
    ● Latitude controls the amount of solar radiation
    that reaches the surface of the Earth. The
    farther away from the equator you are the less
    energy that is reaching the ground at any point
    in time.
    ● Altitude
    ● Temperatures decrease with height. The air is
    less dense and cannot hold heat as easily.
    ● Winds
    ● If winds have been blown from a hot area, they
    will raise temperatures. If winds have been
    blown from cold areas, they will lower
    temperatures.
    ● • Distance from the Sea
    ● Land heats and cools faster than the sea.
    Therefore coastal areas have a lower
    temperature range than those areas inland) On
    the coast winters are mild and summers are
    cool. In inland areas temperatures are high in
    There are some imaginary circles used to
    describe the different climates of the
    Earth as follows:

    Tropic of Cancer
    The Tropic of Cancer lies to the north of the
    equator.
    Tropic of Capricorn
    Tropic of Capricorn lies to the south of the
    equator.

    The Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn mark


    the northern and southern boundaries of the region
    known as the Tropics
    The Arctic Circle
    To the north of the equator there is
    an imaginary line called the Arctic
    Circle. Everything north of the Arctic
    Circle is called the Arctic Region. The
    lands of the Arctic Circle form a ring
    around the Arctic Ocean. Most of the
    Arctic Ocean stays frozen throughout
    The year. Packs of ice float)on the
    surface of this ocean. This is called
    the polar ice cap. The North Pole is at
    the center of the Arctic Circle. The
    Arctic Circle is located about 67
    degrees north
    In the mid winter months in the Arctic
    region, the sun never rises and
    temperatures can easily reach lows of - 50°
    F in the higher latitudes. in the summer
    months the sun melts the seas and topsoil
    and is the main cause of icebergs breaking
    off from the frozen north and floating
    south.
    What are the imaginary circles that used to
    describe the different climates of the Earth?

    Define a climate zone?

    The Tropic of Cancer lies to the ……….of the equator.

    Tropic of Capricorn lies to the ……… of the equator.

    What does Latitude control?


    Thanks!
    Does anyone have any questions?
