2. How climet is affected

   • axis
   • angles cause seasons
   • less sun = colder
   • lattitude
     • euator = sun
     • tropic of cancer
     • tropic of capricon
     • artic circle
     • Antarctic circle
   • wind and rain affect the weather

3. CLIMATES

   • Britain's climate
     • frontal rainfalls
       • when warm has to raise over cold air
     • relif rainfall
       • when warm moist air is forced to rise over a mountain
     • conventional rainfall
       • mainly in summer
       • the heated ground warms the air next to it causing thunder storms
   • mediterranean climate
     • 5 mediterranean climate areas
     • fuond between 30 and 45 deggeres of lattitude
     • climate around medditerranean sea
     • summers
       • hot because the sun is high in the sky
       • dry because preveiling wind from land
     • winters
       • mayority of rain because of preveiling wind
       • mild because of wraming affect from the sea
     • plants
       • grow in Winter because of rain
       • survive summer
         • long waxy leaves
         • long roots
         • thick trunks
       • alterd by
         • grazing
         • cutting trees
         • people settel there
   • desert climate
     • sumes shaped by wind
     • sand made by tiny rock particles
     • less tan 25mm of rain a year
   • equatorial climate
     • hot with hevy and consistant precipitation
   • polar regions
     • artic = north pole
     • antrtic= south pole
       • 5th biggest continent
       • antrtica is on an iceberg 2..5km thick
     • albedo= how much a surface can refect

4. ecosystems

   • non-living surruondings
     • rock
     • air
     • soil
   • interaction of plants an animals with non-living surrondings
   • natural ecosystem = unaffected by humans
   • biome
     • large ecosystem
     • eg. desrt & rainforests
