•Cold temperatures

Climate is the pattern of
weather of a place over many
years
![Page 54: Sectio n 2 Land, Water, Climate. Landforms Land covers 30% of the earth.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e385503460f94b2858c/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Climate is shaped by
the Sun

The Sun•Produces heat and light
•The movements of the earth determines how the sun affects climate

Rotation•The earth rotates (spins) on its Axis
•Axis – imaginary line that runs through the center of the earth from North Pole to South Pole
•24 hours = 1 rotation•Causes day and night
![Page 58: Sectio n 2 Land, Water, Climate. Landforms Land covers 30% of the earth.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e385503460f94b2858c/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Revolution•The earth moves around the sun in an almost circular path called an orbit
•365 ¼ = 1 revolution•Causes seasons

Climate / Air Movement /
Oceans•Wind – air that moves•Prevailing winds – blow from certain positions almost all the time
•Monsoons – winds that change direction according to the seasons

Ocean Currents
•Ocean water that flows in a steady stream
•Winds and ocean currents carry heat and moisture all over the world
