How does climate affect altitude or elevation?
yes, altitude affects pressure which is realted to humidity, ie. the high the altitude, the less pressure which means the less humidity. latitude affects it because of the tilt of the Earth, ie. the higher the latitude, the more variation in seasons.
Why are tropical rainforests humidity?
because they are close to the equator this means they are hot
Where is annual temperature range least?
At the Equator, Singapore , which is only a feew miles from the Equator has an annual temperature range of about 5 oC . Night and day, month by month the temperature is at about 80 oF.
Are locations near the equator warm in summer and cold in winter?
Assuming the weather is the same in a place near the equator and far from the equator, the temperature at the place closer to the equator will generally be warmer.
What factor do you think is the cause of low temperature that city?
Explanation: There are certain factors that affects a certain area's temperature and of which is the location of that place. And the other is its closeness to the equator. Basically, in a certain country, if your area is located in a high altitude place, you experience low temperature (cold weather) and if your area is located in the lower grounds, expect high temperature (warmer weather). Another factor would also be your country's closeness from the equator. The closer it is, the lower your temperature will be. That is why we have what we call tropical countries like The Philippines. Other countries with tropical weather: Brazil Peru Vietnam Laos Cambodia Bahamas
What are the two main factors in temperature?
Latitude and altitude. Latitude is how far north or south you are from the equator, the closer to the equator you are the warmer it is. Altitude is how high from the earth's surface you are, the higher up you are the colder it is.
What is the altitude of Polaris at the equator?
0 Degrees
What generally happens to air temperature as we move from the equator to poles?
temperatures starts to decrease in degrees and the days get shorter
How does climate affect altitude or elevation?
yes, altitude affects pressure which is realted to humidity, ie. the high the altitude, the less pressure which means the less humidity. latitude affects it because of the tilt of the Earth, ie. the higher the latitude, the more variation in seasons.
Is the altitude of the tropopause greater at the equator than at the poles or at the poles than at the equator?
It is greater at the Equator. The boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere varying in altitude from approximately 8 kilometers (5 miles) at the poles to approximately 18 kilometers (11 miles) at the equator.
What is the air temperature at sea level?
Air temperature can vary, depending on various factors: not only the altitude, but also lattitude (at the equator it is much hotter than at the poles), the time of day or night, and other factors.
How does latitude and altitude affect climate?
The altitude affects the climate in the sense that the higher the altitude the colder and harsher the climate. For instance, on top of a mountain there are severe wind chills and extremely low temperatures. Latitude affecting the climate is dependent on the equator. The closer the latitude is to 0 degrees (the equator) the hotter the temperature and the more humidity in the atmosphere.LATITUDE the hottest ares of the earth are located close to the equator the coldest to the poles. this is due to the shape of the earth. the places closest to the equator receive the most direct rays of the sun. regions farther from the equator receive the rays that hit the earths surface on a slant, so the sun's energy is spread over ,and has to heat, a larger area of the earth
What is is the weather like in Bali?
Last time i was there it was in December, the temperature wasn't to high but humidity levels were. so it was hot and stick but perfect weather for a swim. :)
What will be the altitude of the sun on 21st June at the equator?
661/2
The temperature along the equator tends to be?
The temperature is usually hotter closer to the equator.
What is the defference between latitude and altitude?
latitude is how north or south a place is from the equator. altitude is how high you are from earth's surface
Passenger airplanes cruise at an altitude of 11 000m on long flights. In which layer of the atmosphere do these airplanes cruise?
It really depends at what latitude the flight is operating. The lowest layer of the atmosphere, the troposphere, extends up to an altitude of about 23,000 feet (7km) at the poles, and an altitude of about 60,000 feet (17km) at the equator. Therefore, at the poles the aircraft would be flying above the troposhere, in the stratosphere. At the equator, though, the airplane would still be in the troposphere. As you go north or south from the equator, the maximum height of the troposhere (known as the tropopause) generally decreases from 17km to 7km. However, there are notable 'step' changes in the height of the tropopause, where there is a large change in temperature. This causes the high speed winds known as jetstreams, which aeroplanes use to improve journey times. At any location, the height of the tropopause (i.e. depth of the troposphere) is a function of temperature and air pressure/density. As it is warmer and pressure is lower at the equator, the tropopause is higher here than at the poles.
