4. Marine vs. Continentala. Sea of land locations affect temperature
ranges. Since land gains and loses heat much more quickly than water, land areas tend to have_______ summers and_______ winters. Costal areas near the ocean have cooler summers and milder/warmer winters.
Coastal areas have marine climates with a _____ yearly temperature range. Continental interiors (land areas) have continental climates with a ______ yearly temperature range.

Rainfall FactorsRainfall Factors
1. Latitudea. Uneven heating of the Earth produces global
wind belts and pressure belts. These “pressure belts” determine the wetness or dryness of a particular location. Low pressure regions occur where air is rising. As air rises, it expands and cools, which causes condensation and precipitation to occur. Thus low pressure regions are areas of rainfall (wetness), and high pressure regions are areas that lack rainfall (dryness).
