Big IdeaO What do you already know?
O Think about how the weather changes with the seasons where you live. Is there a dry season and a rainy season? Are certain months usually hotter than others? Write a paragraph describing how the weather changes over the course of a year where you live and in one other location with very different seasonal changes. Explain why you think these seasonal changes occur.
Big Idea
OWhat are the major factors that influence a region’s climate?
Big IdeaO What’s the difference between
weather and climate?O Is the climate of Alaska similar to or
different from the climate of Hawaii?O How would you describe the climate
of each of these states?O How many different types of climates
do you think exist on Earth?

What Causes Climate
Chapter 9, Section 1
StandardsS.6.4.a Students know the sun is the major source of energy for
phenomena on Earth’s surface; it powers winds, ocean currents,
and the water cycle.
S.6.4.e Students know differences in pressure, heat, air movement, and humidity result in changes in
weather.

Key Questions
OSWBAT describe what factors influence temperature.
OSWBAT explain which factors influence precipitation.
OSWBAT describe what causes the seasons.
climateThe long-term, average conditions of temperature, precipitation, winds, and clouds in an area.
microclimateA small area with climate conditions that differ from those around it
Tropical zoneArea near the equator, between about 23.5° north latitude and 23.5° south latitude
Polar zoneExtend from about 66.5° to 90° north and 66.5° to 90° south latitudes
Temperate zoneLocated between the tropical zones and the polar zones.
Marine climateClimates with relatively mild winters and cool summers.
Marine climateClimates with relatively mild winters and cool summers.
Continental climateHave more extreme temperatures than marine climates. Winters are cold, while summers are warm or hot.
Ocean currentsStreams of water within the oceans that move in regular patterns.
WindwardThe side the wind hits first
LeewardThe side where the wind travels down a mountain. There is little precipitation, and is usually the dry side of the mountain.
MonsoonsSea and land breezes over a large region that change direction with the seasons.
Factors Affecting TemperatureLatitude
Factors Affecting TemperatureLatitude, altitude
Factors Affecting TemperatureLatitude, altitude, distance from a large body of water
