Climate and Regions LITERACY · 5TH GRADE Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. Climate is the average pattern of weather in a place over decades, and geographers use it to divide the world into regions. The main controls are latitude, which sets how directly the sun strikes; altitude, since air cools with height; distance from the sea, because water heats and cools more slowly than land; and prevailing winds and currents. Those controls explain apparent oddities, such as why Britain is far milder than Labrador at the same latitude — the Gulf Stream carries warm water north-east across the Atlantic. Climate regions run in broad bands from tropical near the equator through dry, temperate, and continental zones to polar. Climate shapes what can be farmed, how buildings are made, and where people concentrate, which is why a climate map predicts a population map surprisingly well. Questions: 1 What is the difference between weather and climate? 2 Name the four main controls on climate. 3 Why is Britain milder than Labrador? www.littleactivity.com 5th Grade · Literacy
