1.LATITUDE
- TEMPERATURE ARE HIGHER AT OR NEAR THE EQUATOR
- IF AWAY(NORTH & SOUTH POLE) FROM THE EQUATOR TEMPERATURE ARE LOWER
REASONS
- FOR THIS IS THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH’S PART IS CURVED. AS THE RESULT, THE SUN ‘S VERTICAL RAY STRIKE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE EARTH SURFACE AT DIFFERENT ANGLES. AT THE EQUATOR, THE VERTICAL RAYS HIT THE EARTH’S SURFACE AT AN ANGLE OF 90◦(ANGLE OF INCIDENCE) TOWARDS THE POLES.
2. ALTITUDE
- ALTITUDE IS THE HEIGHT ABOVE THE SEA LEVEL
- HIGH ALTITUDE (AT THE MOUNTAIN), LOW TEMPERATURE
- LOW ALTITUDE (ON LAND SURFACE), HIGH TEMPERATURE
REASONS
- AT THE HIGHER ALTITUDES , THE AMOUNT OF ATMOSPHERE DECREASES AND AS THE RESULT THERE IS LESS WATER VAPOUR IN THE AIR. THE ATMOSPHERE ABSORBS LESS HEAT AND THEREFORE THE TEMPERATURE AT HIGHER ALTITUDE DROPS.
all the best
