Study Notes
Geography and Climate
- Altitude: Distance above sea level
Climate and Weather
- Climate: The type of weather patterns an area has, on average, over a long period of time
- Weather: Short-term atmospheric conditions (rains, temperature, etc.)
- Climate vs. Weather: Climate refers to long-term patterns, while weather refers to short-term conditions
Humidity and Atmospheric Conditions
- Relative Humidity: The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere relative to how much the air could hold at a certain temperature
Biomes and Biodiversity
- Biome: A major climate region with particular plant and animal species
- Biodiversity: The measure of the variety and number of organisms that live in an area
- Biome and Biodiversity relationship: As you move from the equator to the poles, humidity and biodiversity decrease
Latitude and Geography
- Latitude: Distance from the equator
- Ocean Currents: The east Atlantic current impacts the east coast of the USA
