Climate Review

How does latitude impact climate?

• Latitude has no effect on climate.
• Latitude only affects ocean currents, not climate.
• Latitude determines the amount of rainfall in a region.
• Latitude impacts climate by affecting the angle and intensity of sunlight received, influencing temperature and weather patterns.

How does altitude impact climate?

• Higher altitudes lead to increased humidity.
• Altitude has no effect on climate.
• Temperature increases with elevation.
• Altitude impacts climate by causing temperatures to decrease with elevation, leading to cooler climates at higher altitudes.

How do oceans impact climate?

• Oceans impact climate by regulating temperature, creating a milder climate

• Oceans primarily cool the atmosphere without influencing weather.
• Oceans only affect marine life, not climate.
• Oceans have no effect on climate.

How do ocean currents impact climate?

• Ocean currents have no effect on climate.
• Ocean currents only affect marine life, not climate.
• Ocean currents impact climate by redistributing heat, influencing weather patterns and regional climates.
• Ocean currents are solely responsible for earthquakes.
