Answer (3)

Latitude affects climate because the closer you are to the equator, the warmer the temperature is. Altitude affects climate because the higher up you are, the closer you are to the sun, the warmer it is. Prevailing winds affect climate because wind speeds up and brings moisture and precipitation.

Latitude affects climate by determining how much sunlight an area receives, with warmer temperatures near the equator. Altitude impacts climate as higher elevations result in cooler temperatures. Areas closer to oceans tend to have milder climates than those further inland due to the temperature-moderating effect of water.
