Earth’s axis:
Questions
Explain how
various factors
influence climate.
– Earth is tilted and spins on an axis
– The tilt determines the part of the
Earth that faces the sun
– Winter – Earth is pointing away
so angle is greater (rays are
weaker) also there are less
hours on light
– Summer – Earth is pointing
toward so angle is less (rays are
stronger) also we have more
hours
– As it spins it wobbles which causes
different amounts of solar radiation
to reach each part of the Earth

Wind and Ocean patterns
– Difference in temperature,
pressure, and density cause wind
and ocean currents
– Remember:
• Cold is denser and has higher
pressure - So cold air and water
at poles moves down toward
equator
• Warm is less dense and has a
lower pressure so warmer air
and water at equator moves
up toward the poles
