Climate
Climate change
It is defined as the usual atmospheric conditions of a certain region over a prolonged period of time.
Items
Air temperature Amount of
energy accumulated in the gases of the atmosphere, this varies depending on the factors of: Height, Wind,
Season of the year and Large bodies of water.
Atmospheric pressure
Force exerted by the mass of gases surrounding the planet on its surface.
Factors of this are: Height and Temperature.
Air humidity
Amount of water vapor contained in the atmosphere, with temperature being a main factor.
Factors that determine the climate
Geographical conditions
Latitude: The distance between a given point on Earth and the equator. It affects the amount of solar energy a
location receives, the length of days and nights, and temperature distribution.
Proximity to the sea: Fewer temperature variations and higher humidity.
Water circulation: Energy exchange at the planetary level produces the water cycle and ocean currents. It determines
the distribution of energy and heat on the planet.
Presence of mountains: due to their altitude, capacity to intercept solar radiation and the movement of air masses.
Altitude: The expansion and subsequent cooling that air experiences as it rises, encountering increasingly lower
pressures.
