Explain what factors influences a climate system.

Lattitude (distance North and South from the equator) effects the concentration of solar energy on the earths surface.

Generally, the further north or south you are from the Equator, the warmer it will be. This is because the world is shaped like a ball and the energy from the sunhas to cover a larger area to the poles.

• The Earth receives much more heat from the sun at the equator and the tropics than anywhere else. Itmoves this energy in two major ways – through wind and water.

Factors affecting climateFrom the interactive you should now know more

about the influences on the World's climate:• Latitude• Location relative to continents and oceans• Situation (where you are) in relation to large

scale atmospheric circulation patterns• Altitude• Local geographical features such as

topography (hills and mountains) or the nature of a built up area

How would you explain each process to a young audience of 10 year olds? What are the key words you would use?

As a class come up with success criteria to judge the presentations.  write a 5 minute presentation that explains each of the processes and

present this to your class.Use the rest of your lesson to present these to the rest of your group-

what will they think about your presentation?
