Lesson 1.5 Movement of Earth

1. Rion – earth movement around its ax in counter-clockwise direction, takes hours
2. Retion – movement of the earth around the sun, in counter-clockwise direction, takes ¼ days

* Rotation Effects
1. day and nt
2. te difference in various places – 24 different time zs, 1 degrees longitude per time zone, time in eern hemisphere is always ahead

* Air Temperature
1. Breeze – during day time, cool air over the water moves to the warm air in the land
2. d Breeze – during night time, cool air over the land moves to the warm air over the water

Lesson 1.5 Movement of the Earth

3. Wr – December, nts are longer than days in northern hemisphere
4. Sg – March, nights are day are equal length

Cle – atmosphere condition over a long period of time

* Climate Factors
1. Sun’s rs angle
2. Large bodies of wer presence
3. Location surce difference

* Climate groups
1. Trcal climate zone – near equator, warm climate
2. Por climate zone – near the poles, cold climate
