write the4 factors of influencing climate and weather and explain?
Answers
Answer:
these are the factors
Solar Distance
Earth's distance from the sun changes throughout its orbit, resulting in up to a 4 degree Fahrenheit difference between the closest and furthest points. The oscillating tilt of the planet creates much larger weather effects, because the tilt toward or away from the sun over the course of the year determines the amount of heat that part of the planet will receive.
Latitudinal Location
Where on Earth you are also affects the weather. At the equator, for instance, weather does not change much, because that latitude always receives roughly the same amount of sunlight: around 12 hours a day. As you move away from the equator, however, you receive more or less sunlight, depending on the season.
Air Pressure
Solar radiation heats the planet, but it does not do so evenly. Air pressure is influenced by the differences between hotter and cooler pockets of air, or fronts. When the pockets are very different in temperature, they try to mix together, creating movement and pressure. When they aren’t very different, the atmosphere moves around less -- resulting in, usually, fewer weather effects. As air attempts to equalize by moving from high pressure areas to low pressure areas, this causes wind.
Water Presence
The presence of water has a significant impact on weather. Nearby bodies of water add moisture to the atmosphere in the form of evaporation, which is why places near oceans or lakes, for instance, are usually wetter than the desert. Additionally, large bodies of water create winds as temperature differentials between land and water send breezes inland during the day and out to sea or onto lakes at night.
