i) - Areas near the equator are hotter than areas far away from the equator. This is due
to high concentration of the sun’s rays per unit area at the equator/the amount of solar insolation decreases polarwards since it passes through a longer distance of the atmosphere and therefore more interference.
ii) - Lowlands are usually warmer than highlands because the atmosphere becomes
thinner as the altitude increases where the ground loses heat to the outerspace faster/atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude. This is due to the weight of atmospheric air above highlands being less than in lowlands.
iii) - In the northern hemisphere, outside the tropics, the north – facing slopes are cooler
than the south – facing slopes because they do not receive direct solar insolation. (The reverse is true for southern hemisphere).
- Windward slopes are generally wetter than the leeward slopes because the moisture – laden winds rise and drop their moisture on this side first.
iv) - Warm winds bring warming influence to a place if they come from a warm region and vice versa
- Areas under the influence of dry winds have little or no rainfall/areas under the influence of moist winds are usually wet
