Science Assessment ~ Topics ~ Weather and Climate I: Basic Elements ~ NGSS Link ESS2.D-M.1

Weather and climate are influenced by interactions involving sunlight, the ocean, the atmosphere, ice, landforms, and living things. These interactions vary with latitude, altitude, and local and regional geography, all of which can affect oceanic and atmospheric flow patterns.

CL058002	If someone wants to live in a place that is warmer than where that person lives now, it is useful to consider both the distance of the place from the equator and its height above sea level.
CL070002	Places at the same latitude can have different high temperatures on a given day even if they are at the same elevation and the same distance from the ocean.
