What's the Climate?
15
climate : the overall condition of an area over a long period of time
climate change : a long term shifting of global weather pattern
El Nino : brought about by the current of the ocean bringing warm air to a landmass in the Pacific region
fauna : all the living animals in a given area
flora : all the plants in a given area
greenhouse effect : the increase of global temperature due to some atmospheric gases
gyre : the circular patterns formed by surface currents
latitude : an imaginary line that is parallel to the equator
leeward : the side of the mountain that receives less amount of precipitation
longitude : an imaginary line that extends from north pole to south pole
mitigation : a manner of modifying something to become useful
precipitation : forms when water vapor condenses and falls to the ground as rain, snow, hail or sleet
topography : the surface features of an area
temperature : refers to the hotness or coldness of an object
Coriolis effect : factor that deflects ocean currents
