arid
precipitation

3
The tropical climate region is found...

4
Why does a beach area have steady temperatures & an inland city to have a wide variety of temperatures?
Both of the above answers.
The air inland varies because it's not near a large body of water.
The air over the ocean keeps coastal areas in steady temperatures.
Neither of the above answers.
5
How does latitude affect climate zones?
Both answers above.
The sun's angle is 90 degrees at the equator so it is concentrated and hot.
Neither answer above.
The sun's angle is less at the poles, so not as hot.
6
If a mountain has the rain shadow effect, what would you find on the windward side? (Side facing ocean)
rainy
dry
clear
cold
7
How does elevation affect temperatures?
Higher elevation = less snow
Higher elevation = more rain
Higher elevation = lower temps
Higher elevation = higher temps
8

precipitation
runoff
condensation
evaporation

Sally measured the temperature daily for a week and said her climate was tropical, why is this not her CLIMATE?
She only looked at temp but should have included precipitation.
She should have done it more often in the day.
She studied for only 1 week instead of a long period of time.
She forgot humidity, wind, air pressure.
