II. WHAT I NEED TO KNOW
DISCUSSION
Factor 1: Latitude
Places that are NOT vertically hit by the sun’s rays experience
cold climate.
The altitude of
a place will affect
the air
temperature. That’s
because the air
temperature
decreases as the
altitude increases.
“Change in the Atmosphere with Altitude | UCAR Center for Science Education.” n.d.
Places that
are near to the
bodies of water will
likely to experience
moderate climate
since it regulates
the temperature.
Soil absorbs heat
faster than water.
Factor 4: Topography
Topography is
another factor that
affects the climate of a
certain place.
One of the
topographic features of
an area is mountain.
Climate. 2018. “Climate.” Khan Academy. 2018
Mountainous areas greatly affect the amount of precipitation
in a certain region. The area in which the wind blows is called the
windward side. Here, the wind is blocked by the mountain, forcing
it to move upward. As it moves up, the water vapor condenses and
forms clouds. This will result in precipitation on the windward side.

Factor 5: Ocean Currents

hemisphere, the current
flows in a clockwise NOAA. 2013. “How Does the Ocean Affect Climate and Weather on Land?”

direction.
Ocean currents that flow away from the equator carries warm
water. The air above the warm water has higher temperature.

III. WHAT I HAVE LEARNED
4. The tip of British Isles and the part of Russia near Moscow, both
places have four seasons. Even though both places are on the
same latitude, the northern tip of the British Isles has a more
moderate climate due to the neighboring bodies of water.
