Global warming
Causes: Burning Fossil fuels increases Carbon Dioxide in
the atmosphere Deforestation reduces the amount of CO2
absorbed by the plants

Factors that influence climate Large bodies of water like the oceans
Large cities Ocean currents Trade winds

Temperature Zones
Polar zones (cold) Temperate zones(moderate) Tropical zones (hot and wet) Dessert zones (hot and dry)

Factors that Cool the Earth Pollution Volcanic eruptions Reflection of ice and snow

Angles of the Sun on the Earth
The lower the angle of the sun hitting a particular area on the Earth the colder that place will be.

El Nino an irregularly occurring and complex
series of climatic changes affecting the equatorial Pacific region and beyond every few years, characterized by the appearance of unusually warm, nutrient-poor water off northern Peru and Ecuador(tropical Pacific Ocean), typically in late December.

Classification of Climate Temperature The amount and type of precipitation The vegetation that grow there Climate changes less frequently unlike weather Climate is weather measured over a long period
of time

Cloud Formation
The sun warms the water on the earth and it rises to the proper altitude where it cools and condenses to form a cloud

Weather
Is measured by Temperature Cloud cover Wind speed Humidity Air pressure Wind direction and speed which can
change with changes in temperature and pressure

Precipitation Happens when water becomes to heavy
to be suspended in the clouds.

Hurricanes
Are weather storms that can last several weeks and has winds of over 120 mph

Factors that Affect Weather
There are six main things that affect weather. These are:
1. Latitude 2. Altitude 3. Prevailing winds 4. Distance from the sea 5. Ocean currents6. Great mountain barriers.

Fronts A warm front is a transition zone
between a mass of warm air and the colder air it is replacing.
A cold front is defined as the transition zone where a cold air mass is replacing a warmer air mass.
An occluded front is a composite front where a cold front overtakes a warm front and pushes it upward.
A stationary front is a front between warm and cold air masses that is moving very slowly or not at all.
