    1. Latitude
      1. Distance from coast
        1. Prevailing wind direction
          1. Ocean currents
            1. Height above sea level (altitude)
              1. Shelter
                1. How built up a place is
                2. TYPES OF RAINFALL
                  1. Convectional Rainfall
                    1. Relief Rainfall
                      1. Frontal Rainfall
                      2. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WEATHER AND CLIMATE
                        1. Weather is the state of atmosphere around us at any given time. Climate is the 'average' weather in a place - what the weather is usually like there.
                        2. WEATHER TERMS
                          1. Temperature
                            1. Wind direction
                              1. Visibility
                                1. Air pressure
                                  1. Precipitation
                                    1. Wind speed
                                      1. Cloud cover
                                      2. TYPES OF CLOUDS
                                        1. Cumulus clouds
                                          1. Stratus clouds
                                            1. Cirrus clouds
                                            2. FRONTS
                                              1. Warm front = warm air mass arriving
                                                1. Cold front = cold air mass arriving
                                                  1. A depression = cold front chasing a warm front
                                                  2. AIR PRESSURE
                                                    1. Low pressure weather = unsettled weather (the lower the pressure, the stormier the weather).
                                                      1. High pressure weather = clear skies (ie. hot in summer, cold in winter)
                                                      2. SATELLITE IMAGES
                                                        1. PROMPTS
