A tool on a map showing the directions (North, South, East, West)

the ocean that surrounds Antarctica

Weather conditions over a long period of time

Day to day conditions of a particular place

Areas closer to the equator are warmer, areas closer to poles are colder

The amount of rain an area gets that affects its climate

Movement of different winds which brings warm or cold air along with rain or dryness

Ocean currents keep the land near oceans warmer or cooler.

The higher the elevation of the land, the colder the temperatures

Determines climate through: temperature, precipitation (amount of rain), and vegetation (plants found in the area)

Rainforest (Tropical Wet/Warm temperatures with regular rainfall) or Near Equator (Tropical Dry/ Three seasons with warm and cool temperatures)

Desert (Arid/Very hot temperatures, little rain, cactus and short grass) or Grasslands (Semiarid/ Enough rain to support grass and shrubs, high and low temperatures)

Farming/Forest (Humid Subtropical/ hot summers and mild winters, forests and swamps) or Warm/Cool (Marine West Coast/flow of air from ocean, warm summers and cool winters, thick forests and lots of plants) or Mediterranean (Near the Mediterranean Sea, warm dry summers and cool rainy winters, lots of trees and grasses grow)

Warm Summer (Wet summer seasons) or Cool Summer (Winters with low temperatures and snow), or Subarctic (Very long and cold winters) All have shorter growing seasons because of the cold winters

Tundra (Summers are short but LOTS of plants, fairly cool temperatures) or Ice Cap (Freezing temperatures, few living things)

Landforms or bodies of water on Earth's surface

A large area of flat or nearly flat land

A low area of land between hills or mountains, usually with a river or stream running through

A row of connected mountains

A broad inlet of the sea where the land curves inward

A narrow channel that connects two large bodies of water (sea to ocean)

Portion of land surrounded by water and connected to a large body of land (i.e. Florida)

Total number of people

Crowded
