Temps increase rapidly
Cooler and wetter conditions
More earthquakes
Clouds disappear
3

Compare to climate data
Observe clouds
Graph wind data
Check for animal migration
4
What causes day and night on Earth?
The rotation of Earth on its axis
Earth’s revolution around the Sun
Changing distance between Earth and Sun
Clouds blocking the Sun
5
How does ocean water help regulate coastal climates?
Increases rainfall
Absorbs heat and releases it slowly
Blocks sunlight
Prevents storms
6
Which data set is best evidence of a region’s climate?
Cloud cover for one week
Rainfall for a weekend
Temperature for one day
Temperature + precipitation over 30 years
7
Two cities are at different latitudes. City A near equator; City B near poles. Which is true?
City B gets more sunlight
City A receives more direct sunlight all year
City A is colder because it’s closer to the Sun
Both cities have similar daylight
8
Which factor most influences Earth’s climate zones?
Number of cloudy days
Wind direction
Ocean currents
Latitude and angle of sunlight
9
What is the primary difference between weather and climate?
Climate is unpredictable
Weather = short-term; Climate = long-term
Weather = temperature only
Climate only includes rainfall
10
Which statement best explains why shadows change length during the day?
The Moon blocks sunlight at different times.
Clouds reflect sunlight unevenly.
The Earth rotates, changing the angle of sunlight.
The Earth’s orbit causes the Sun to move faster.
