Factors that affect climate Latitude: Ocean Currents: Wind and air masses: Elevation: Relief: Near water: Global Factors that Affect Climate As the suns UV rays hit the earth they hit is directly at the equator causing more heat. Because these rays are direct and they hit direct at one spot. For part a‚ the earth start to slope‚ in which the sun’s rays have to hit a larger areas‚ and have to travel further distances. As the latitude increases‚ the average annual temperatures decreases. In North

Factors Affecting Climate There are many different factors that affect climate around the world. The most important factors are:- • Distance From The Sea • Ocean Currents • Direction of Prevailing Winds • Relief • Proximity To The Equator • The El Nino Phenomenon • Recently‚ it has been accepted that human activity is also affecting climate. Distance From The Sea (Continentality) The sea affects the climate of a place. Coastal areas are cooler and wetter than inland areas

8 Caring Factors of Nursing Nurses are one of the largest groups of healthcare professionals. They can contribute to the positive and negative ways to a health care quality problem. The nurse has an intimate knowledge of the patient’s needs and they are continuously interacting with patients and their families. The patient and their family’s experiences and outcomes while in the hospital is highly influenced by the nursing care they received. In 2001‚ a report published by Dr. Claire Fagin

Introduction Climate is a term used to summarise the long term atmospheric elements that cause the short term weather patterns received in a place (“Climate” Britannica 2015). Climate change is the alterations the climate goes through due to a number of factors. These factors can be described as natural or anthropogenic (“Climate Change” Britannica 2015). Natural drivers of climate change are as a result of natural processes such as changes in the solar activity‚ volcanic activity or the Earth’s

Climate is a measure of the average pattern of variation in temperature‚ humidity‚ atmospheric pressure‚ wind‚ precipitation‚ atmospheric particle count and other meteorological variables in a given region over long periods of time. Climate is different from weather‚ in that weather only describes the short-term conditions of these variables in a given region. A region’s climate is generated by the climate system‚ which has five components: atmosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ cryosphere‚ land surface‚ and biosphere

Solutions to Climate Change Kyoto Protocol: The Kyoto Protocol is an international treaty that sets binding obligations on industrialized countries to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. The debate is over whether it constitutes a good model for future global climate change treaties. Carbon Offsets: A carbon offset is a reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases to compensate for the offset of an emission made elsewhere. Carbon offsets are a form of trade. When you buy an offset‚ you fund

low pressure belt and the temperate low pressure zone. Though both are low pressure systems‚ their weather and heat transfer processes are very different. Their diversion can be viewed under The equatorial zones are distinguished by a hot and wet climate all year round‚ yet the temperate zones are typified by less stable areas. The temperature difference between the equator and the poles generates a circulation system which redistributes heat from low latitudes to high latitudes. The rising and
