| how does latitude effect temperature | higher the latitude=greater difference |
| how does altitude effect temperature | higher you are=the colder it gets |
| cloud cover effects temp | daytime=cooler: reflecting or absorbing/night=warmer |
| location effects of temp | inland: more extreme difference between hi/low; near water: mild - very little variation |
| 4 factors that effect temp | latitude, altitude, cloud cover, location |
| In land temperature contributors | less evaporation, no mobility, surface not transparent, low specific heat (ground absorbs the heat) |
| Water/Near Water temperature contributors | Higher Evaporation rate, more ability to cool self, higher mobility, more transparent, higher insolation into water, high specific heat, takes a lot to change water temp |
| Greater Evaporation | higher latent heat |
| Water surface | transparent |
| higher specific heat | water |
| Continental Inland | temperature conditions more extreme-land warms and cools rapidly |
| Marine/Water | temperature conditions more moderate - water warms and cools slowly |
| Less Evaporation | lower latent heat |
| Land Surface | opaque |
| Lower specific heat | land |
| No mixing | land has no mobility between layers |
| high mobility | water has mobility and mixes in vast ocean currents |
| temperature | measure of kinetic energy of individual molecules in matter |
| isotherm | each line on a temperature map |
| thermal equator | isoline connecting all points of highest mean temperature |
