LOWERN Flashcards
1
Q

A
The location of an area relative to the equator
2

3
Q
Wind and Air Masses
A
An air masses temp and moisture depend on where it is created (over land, on water, cold, warm)
4
Q
Elevation (BC)
A
Higher = cooler because air can’t hold heat when it expands at high altitude due to low air pressure
5
Q
Relief (BC)
A
West side of the mountain is hit by moist wind from water below causing cold percip, east is blocked so temps are warmer and low humidity
6
Q
Nearness to Water
A
Near water = low temp range and high percip
Far from water = high temp range and low percip
