Las influencias climáticas

The video explains how various factors such as latitude, water bodies, wind patterns, and altitude influence the Earth's climate. It highlights the role of the equator in temperature distribution, the significance of ocean currents like the Gulf Stream, and the impact of wind cells on global climate. Additionally, it discusses how altitude affects air density and temperature, and the ways human activities alter climatic conditions.

What role does latitude play in determining climate?

• It controls the ocean currents.

• It determines the amount of rainfall.

• It influences the wind speed.

• It affects the amount of sunlight received.

How does the Gulf Stream influence the climate of northern Europe?

• It makes the region colder.

• It causes frequent storms.

• It has no effect on the climate.

• It warms the region significantly.

What is the primary difference between winds originating over water and those over land?

• Winds over land are warmer.

• Winds over water are drier.

• Winds over land carry more moisture.

• Winds over water transport more moisture.

How does altitude affect climate?

• Higher altitudes are warmer and drier.

• Higher altitudes have no effect on climate.

• Higher altitudes are colder and drier.

• Higher altitudes are warmer and wetter.

In what ways can humans alter the climate?

• By changing the Earth's orbit.

• By increasing the Earth's rotation speed.

• By deflecting water currents and affecting the atmosphere.

• By altering the sun's intensity.
