Causes of Climate

Altitude

r

altitude is how far you are from a body of water.

the closer to a large body of water the cooler summers because of wind from the oceans

the farther from a large body of water the warmer winters

Evelation

r

Elevation is the daily range of temperature.

Elevation is like another word for weather

r

Distance from the sun

r

the sun's rays gives use heat the heat hits the equator that why you must be close to the equator to have warm climate.

the closer to the sun's rays {or the equator} the warmer the climate.

the farther from the sun's rays {or the equator} the cooler the climate.

Latidude

r

latitude is the distance from the equator.

the closer to the equator the warmer the climate

the farther from the equator the cooler the climate

Rocky Mountain Region

r

The plants are smaller and grow closer to the ground.  snow stays on the mountain tops all year round

Rocky Mountain Region-higher altitude/elevation on the mountains means it will be colder with more precipitation. The plants are smaller and grow closer to the ground. Snow will stay on the tops of some mountains all year long. It has the most precipitation and the coldest temperatures.
