| A | B |
|---|
| climate | Cold winters and hot summers |
| weather | cloudy with rain and north winds of 10mph |
| Cooler | higher altitudes |
| Warmer | lower altitudes |
| elevation | distance above sea level |
| higher latitudes | colder climate |
| equator | warmer climate |
| angle of sun hitting earth | warms earth differently |
| topography | shapes and features of the earth |
| front | two air masses meet and cause weather |
| cold front | pushes a warm mas up and causes precipitation |
| warm front | warm air moves over and replaces cold air causes precipitation |
| air pressure | lowers as the altitude rises |
| winds | caused by areas of high pressure created by sun's energy |
| high relative humity | cause hot muggy days |
| locations close to large bodies of water | warmer winters, cooler summers |
| ocean currents | caused by temperature and salinity (saltiness) differences |
| convection current | warm air rises and cool air sinks due to density |
