- Shade the map according to the provided legend: Tropical wet (dark green), Tropical wet dry (light green), Semi arid (light orange), Arid (yellow), Humid continental (light yellow), Subarctic (purple), Tundra (light blue), Ice cap (white), Highlands (gray), Non-permanent ice (light gray).
- Where do you live? What type of climate does your country have? Explain.
- [Student should fill in based on their location. Example: I live in the United States. My region has a humid continental climate because it experiences four distinct seasons with hot summers and cold winters, and moderate precipitation year-round.]
- Why do different climates exist in other parts of the world?
- Different climates exist due to factors like latitude (distance from the equator), altitude (elevation above sea level), proximity to oceans or large water bodies, prevailing wind patterns, and ocean currents. These factors influence temperature and precipitation, leading to varied climate zones across the globe.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of factors affecting climate worksheet.
