Climatology The study of the Earth’s climate and factors that
affect past, present and future climatic changes.
Review: Weather vs. Climate
Is there a difference???
Climate- long-term average of weather patterns in a particular area.
Weather- short-term variations in atmospheric conditions.
Examples in
Arizona….
YES!!!
Data used to describe Climate
Daily High and Low temperatures RainfallWind SpeedHumidityAir Pressure
Causes of Climate
Latitude- the distance N or S of the equator and is measured in degrees.
Controls the amount of solar radiation an area receives.
Latitude and Longitude
GRAB 2 HIGHLIGHTERS
Latitude
Run horizontally and split the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.
Measured in degrees North and South of the equator.
North Pole
South Pole
Lines of latitude are numbered from 0 degrees at the Equator to 90 degrees North at the N Pole
Lines of latitude are numbered from 0 degrees at the Equator to 90 degrees South at the S Pole
Longitude
Run vertically (the loooong way around Earth).
Measured in degrees East and West of the Prime Meridian.
Prime Meridian
Lines of longitude are numbered
from 0 degrees at the PM to 180
West in the Western
Hemisphere
Lines of longitude are numbered
from 0 degrees at the PM to 180
East in the Eastern
Hemisphere
By combining latitude and longitude any location can be pinpointed!

What impacts climate?
OceansMountain Ranges
Oceans
Water heats up and cools down more slowly than land.
Cities near oceans have moderate climates.
Mountain Ranges
Temperatures decrease as you increase in altitude.
Higher elevations = lower temperatures.
Changes in the Climate
Earth’s climate is constantly changing….
Long-term climate changes Short-term climate changes
Long-Term Temperature Changes
Ice Ages- Times during which ice collects in high latitudes and moves towards lower altitudes.
Large amounts of water freezes, causing sea levels to drop.
The most recent ice age began 2 million years ago.
Long-Term Temperature Changes
Volcanic Eruptions- send large amounts of dust, ash and smoke into the atmosphere.
This “shield” blocks the sun’s rays, which causes the Earth to cool.
Long-Term Temperature Changes
Asteroid Impact- causes debris to shoot into the atmosphere.
What do you think the debris does??......
Long-Term Temperature Changes
The Sun’s Cycle- The sun follows a 11 year cycle. It changes from it’s solar maximum to solar minimum.
Maximum- The sun produces a large percentage of high-energy radiation.
Minimum- The sun produces a low percentage of high-energy radiation.
Long-Term Temperature Changes
Global Warming- the gradual increase in the average global temperature due to a higher concentration of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere.
Short-Term Temperature Changes
Seasons- variations of climate caused by changes in daylight, temperature, and weather patterns.

1. What are 5 events that contribute to long-term climate change?
Global warming, the sun’s cycle, asteroid impact, volcanic eruptions and ice ages.2. What are seasons?Seasons are variations of climate caused by variations in daylight, temperature, and weather patterns. 3. Are seasons a long-term or short-term climate change? Seasons are a short-term climate change.

Rotation vs. Revolution
Rotation- The Earth moving around it’s axis.
How long does one rotation take?
24 hours
Revolution- The Earth moving all the way around the sun.
How long does one revolution take?
365 and ¼ day
Seasons
The seasons are caused by the tilt of Earth’s axis as it moves around the sun.
The Earth is tilted at 23.5 degrees
Summer solstice- June 21 in the Northern hemisphere.Beginning of summer.
Winter solstice- December 21 in the Northern hemisphere.Beginning of winter.
Solstice- occurs when sun is directly overhead at latitudes 23.5 degrees north or south.
Vernal(Spring) equinox- March 21 in the Northern hemisphere.
Fall equinox- Sept 21 in the Northern hemisphere.
Equinox- Neither hemisphere is tilted towards the sun.
-The lengths of daylight and darkness are approximately equal.
