What is a climagraph?• A graph of the monthly mean temperature,
temperature range and precipitation of a particular city.
• Always includes as its title the name of the city, latitude and elevation (in ft and m).

Elevation
• The air is rare up there!
• Decrease pressure, decrease temperature.
• The RANGE stays the same!

Latitude
• Rays and days! • Strength of the sun’s rays and the length
of the days are the number 1 factor in heating the Earth.
• Closer to equator, there are stronger rays and more consistent day length.
• So, in general… increase latitude, decrease average temperature.

Land vs. Water
• Land heats up and cools down FASTER than water.– Water has a HIGH specific heat- takes more
energy to heat one gram one degree celsius.– Water is transparent-light can travel through
it. Land is opaque. – Water can convect heat throughout. Land
CANNOT convect and it does NOT conduct very well.

Ocean Currents• Recall: The Sun heats the Earth and the
Earth heats the air. • Warm ocean currents will heat the air
above. • Wind belts can then move that warm air
