What affects temperature

• Local
• Specific heat
• Water heats and cools off slower because it has a
  higher specific heat
• Texture rough absorb
• Color white reflect
• Cloud cover

• Global
• Amount of insolation
• Angle of insolation
• Duration of insolation
• Latitude
• Elevation

8
Adiabatic Cooling and Heating
9
Temperature Vs. Density

• warm air -gt lower density -gt air rises
• cooler air -gt higher density -gt air sinks
