Question Q4GS1GS1
Discuss the various factors responsible for the uneven temperature distribution on Earth's surface.
Introduction
The temperature at the Earth's surface varies due to a variety of factors.
13 words
Main Body
These factors include:
1Insolation of sun - The insolation creates variation in temperature across the latitudes
2Altitude - The regions close to the surface have high temperature [e.g. Hills - face low temperature]
3The atmospheric circulation also creates variable temperature
4Proximity to the seas - moderate temperature
5Local wind patterns also create variable temperature
The Chinook winds - warm winds insure temperate low in Sudan
6Secondary phenomena as cyclones also create variable temperature [e.g. Heavy rainfall leads to moderate temperature]
7Albedo effect - Snow area - called back light - These are the various factors that create variability of temperature.
