|
latitude |
-farther you go the colder it is -Suns Rays are more North of the equator bcuz they hit the earth on an angle which makes the area colder - factor affects all of canada |
|
|
ocean currexr |
-warm ocean currents create warm air and cold currents create cold air -ocean temp affects the air temp above |
|
|
winds and air masses |
-air masses form over certain areas and carry the temp and moisture characteristic with them -winds push the air mass across the country -affects all of canada |
|
|
elevation |
as you go higher in elevation the temp goes down (colder) the air pressure de teases and the heat escapes making it colder mountainous areas mainly the western cordillera |
|
|
relief |
windward sides of mountains get mor r precipitation than leeward sides most air from ocean is forced up the side of the mountain air cools, moisture condenses and cloud form. precipitation falls and dry air goes down leeward side mountainous areas, the western cordillera in bC and somewhat the east coast |
|
|
near water |
moderates temperature - water warms up and cools down slower than land. in the summer water cools the air down and in the winter warms the air up creates precipitation(more) moist air from water body blows into shore, clouds form and precipitation falls near oceans and very large lakes |
