How Geographic Factors Influence Climate: Elevation, Latitude, Winds, and Ocean Currents

Geographic factors play a crucial role in shaping climate patterns around the world. Elevation affects temperature, as higher altitudes generally lead to cooler climates. Latitude determines the amount of solar energy received, influencing temperature and seasonal variations. Wind systems distribute moisture, impacting precipitation. Ocean currents regulate temperature and precipitation patterns by transporting warm or cold water. The position on a continent can lead to variations in climate, while mountain barriers can block air masses and create rain shadows, significantly influencing local climate conditions.
