What causes climate?

1. From the latitude position: the temperature gradually decreases from low latitudes to the poles.

2. From the position of sea and land: the temperatures of the ocean and land at the same latitude are different. The land temperature is higher in summer and the ocean temperature is higher in winter.

3. From the perspective of altitude: the higher the terrain, the lower the temperature. For every 100 meters of elevation, the temperature drops by 0.6°C.

The factors that affect climate mainly include latitude factors, land and sea factors, ocean currents, topographic factors and human activities.

The world's annual average temperature gradually decreases from the equator to the north and south poles. The reason is that the distribution of solar radiation decreases from the equator to the poles.

The continent with the highest average temperature in the world is Africa, and the continent with the lowest average temperature is Antarctica.

Place C in central Asia is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where the average temperature is below 0°C, 10°C lower than at the same latitude. The main reason is that the altitude is high and the temperature is low.

The changing pattern of the world's annual average temperature is:

1. Decreasing from the equator to the poles.

2. The temperature in tropical areas is higher than 20 degrees Celsius.

3. The temperature in the cold zone is lower than -10 degrees Celsius.

The changing pattern of annual precipitation in the world is:

1. It decreases from the equator to the poles.

2. There is more precipitation on the east coast of the mainland near the Tropic of Cancer and less precipitation on the west coast.

3. There will be less precipitation in the interior of the temperate continent, but there will be more water in the coastal areas.
