Temperature and precipitation

Climate is largely described by which conditions:

• Fauna and flora

• Temperature and precipitation

• humidity and pressure

• hurricanes and tornadoes

As altitude _____________ temperature ___________.

• decreases, decreases

• increases, increases

• increases, decreases

• decreases, increases

Which of the following will heat the fastest?

• water

• land

• both heat at equal rates

Away from the equator____________.

• The sun’s rays hit at an angle and spread out.

• The sun's rays are so far that barely hit the earth.

• The sun's rays are more concentrated

Large bodies of water affect climate of the land next to them because

• water heats up and cools more slowly than land

• water heats up and cools faster than land

• water and land cool at the same time

• You can freshen up in the ocean

Why is Bogotá colder than Cartagena?

• Because it is farther from the sun

• Because air pressure is higher and air molecules have more energy

• Because air pressure is lower and air molecules have less energy

• Because it rains a lot.

An ocean current that travels from the equator northwards would

• Warm up coastal areas in Europe

• Cool down coastal areas in Europe

• Have and insignificant impact on European coast's climate

• get there thanks to tidal movements.

What climate factors are the image representing?

• Earth, snowy mountains, the beach, continental drift

• Factors that affect temperature

• Factors that affect winds

• Factors that affect climate change

• Latitude, altitude, large bodies of water, ocean currents

Why is La Macuira, Guajira, peculiar?

• It is a cloud forest in the middle of a desert

• It is a cloud forest, and these type of forests are unique in Colombia

• It is a desert next to the ocean

• It is an enormous body of water in the middle of the desert

What climate factors influence the presence of forest vegetation in La Macuira, Colombia

• Ocean currents which regulate precipitation

• Latitude and closeness to the ocean, which regulate temperature

• Prevailing winds and mountain ranges, which regulate precipitation

• Prevailing winds and mountain ranges, which regulate temperature
