Study Notes
Factors Affecting Climate
- Daily temperature varies throughout the year.
- Generally, maximum temperature occurs in the afternoon.
- Seasons show distinct summer and winter.
- Daylight hours vary depending on the time of day and season.
Altitude and Temperature
- Altitude significantly impacts the distribution of temperatures.
- Higher elevations experience cooler temperatures.
- The higher you go, the lower the average temperature.
- The sun's rays are less direct at higher altitudes.
