Climate Forming Factors

Climate-forming factors

Climate-forming factors are the main causes of climate formation on Earth.
These include:

1. Solar radiation
2. Geographic latitude of the area
3. Earth's axis
4. Air masses
5. Terrain
6. Underlying surface
7. Ocean currents
8. Glaciers
9. Continents
10. Sea level
11. Vegetation
12. Soils
13. Animal world
14. Water

All these factors interact with each other and form the climate on planet Earth.

Over the years, humanity has managed to leave quite a legacy in environmental terms. As a result, human activity does not lead to an increase in uniform heating of the air, but provokes its uneven distribution. This is how we can explain the presence of climatic zones, land areas with a certain climate, which makes researchers very happy.

A climate-forming factor is a force or condition that forms a system of air masses and acts as the main condition for the formation of the local climate system. Climatic zones occupy the territory of the Earth and are not static. The movement of air masses continuously takes place in a certain area. The general movement of air masses leads to climate change and the formation of climate zones. The movement of atmospheric masses is caused by the presence of cyclones and anticyclones, where the movement is associated with the force of rotation in the core. The collision of anticyclones contributes to the development of fronts, and this means a redistribution of pressure. When warm and cold air collide in the equatorial region, a dry climate can be observed, tropical, subtropical and alpine.
