The five basic climate controls are:<br />
Latitude -determines solar energy input<br />
Elevation -influences temperature and precipitation<br />
Topography -Mountain barriers up wind can affect precipitation of a region<br />
as well as temperature. Topography also affects the distribution of cloud<br />
patterns and thus solar energy reaching the surface.<br />
Large bodies of water -thermal stability of water moderates the temperature<br />
of regions<br />
Atmospheric circulation - Large-scale circulation patterns exert a systematic<br />
impact on the climate of a region. These controls produce variations in<br />
temperature and precipitation
