Study guides

4

1 Climate and Climate Patterns

Learn how weather differs from climate and how normals, anomalies, records, and visual summaries describe long-term climate patterns and variability.
Study guide · Updated

2 Controls of Climate

Learn how latitude, elevation, water, ocean currents, atmospheric circulation, and topography interact to shape regional temperatures and precipitation.
Study guide · Updated

3 Climate Zones

Learn how climate zones are identified from long-term temperature and precipitation patterns, how the major zones differ, and why local geography can modify those patterns.
Study guide · Updated

4 Climate Through Time

Learn how climate is defined and shaped, how it varies across seasons and longer timescales, and how natural influences differ from human-driven climate change.
