Relief means the shape of the land on the surface.

Relief mostly affects precipitation.

An example of relief is that if wind is hitting the side of a mountain but not the other, then the side of the mountain where the wind is hitting will have more precipitation than the side of the mountain with no wind hitting it.

Environmental Science & Weather : How Does Latitude Affect Climate?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Latitude can affect climate through circulation, and the wind bands known as trade winds differ depending on latitude. Discover how the movement of weather systems is controlled by large wind belts with help from the chair of a department of environmental studies in this free video on how latitude affects climate.

Wind:the perceptible natural movement of the air, especially in the form of a current of air blowing from a particular direction. Ari mass: a body of air with horizontally uniform temperature, humidity, and pressure. Jet streams: a narrow, variable band of very strong, predominantly westerly air currents encircling the globe several miles above the earth. There are typically two or three jet streams in each of the northern and southern hemispheres.

Climate becomes cooler as the air rises higher above the surface.

Large bodies of water such as oceans, seas, and large lakes affect. the climate of an area. Water heats and cools more slowly than land. Therefore, in the summer, the coastal regions will stay cooler and in winter warmer. A more moderate climate with a smaller temperature range is created.

Latitude affects climate by influencing the intensity of the sun in a region.

The angle and duration of the sun's energy determine surface temperature so that higher latitudes receive less heat, but lower latitudes closer to the equator receive significantly more heat.

Latitude affects our climate in many ways, because latitude divides the earth into three different climate zones: arctic, tropic, and temperate zones are mainly comprised of snow and ice, the tropic receives the most sunlight.

The temperate zone, between the Arctic and Tropical zone, has the most diversity of weather.

The ocean plays a fundamental role in shaping the climate zones we see on land. Even areas hundreds of miles away from any coastline are still largely influenced by the global ocean system.

Horizontal currents moving northward or southward may carry warmed or cooled water for very long distance. The displaced warm water raises the temperature of the air while the cold water cools the air and the land surface where the wind blows.
For Example: The Cold Labrador Current (East Coast of Canada)
The Warm North Pacific Current (West Coast of Canada)

Cold ocean currents are masses of cold water moving from high latitude TOWARDS the equator absorbing the heat received in the tropics and cooling the air above. Cold currents are formed when the air circulating the eastern side of the subtropical high is blown over cold water mass and are then dragged toward the equator. Warm currents are masses of warm water with higher temperatures moving AWAY from the equator. Warm currents are formed when the cold saline water becomes dense and sinks allowing the light warm water to flow in the opposite direction, usually far from the equator.
