What is the coldest place on Earth? It is a high ridge in Antarctica on the East Antarctic Plateau where temperatures in several hollows can dip below minus 133.6 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 92 degrees Celsius) on a clear winter night.

Antarctica

The climate of Antarctica is the coldest on Earth. Antarctica has the lowest naturally occurring temperature ever recorded: −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F) at Vostok Station.

The driest place on earth officially is in the Atacama Desert in Northern Chile and southern Peru, in western South America (Figure SM4. 3). There are locations in the Atacama that have not received measurable rainfall in decades. This map features January precipitation.

The climate of any particular place is influenced by a host of interacting factors. These include latitude, elevation, nearby water, ocean currents, topography, vegetation, and prevailing winds.

Introduction: Climate is determined by the temperature and precipitation characteristics of a region over time. The temperature characteristics of a region are influenced by natural factors such as latitude, elevation, and the presence of ocean currents.

• Latitude. It depends on how close or how far it is to the equator.
• Ocean currents. Certain ocean currents have different temperatures.
• Wind and air masses. Heated ground causes air to rise which results in lower air pressure.
• Elevation. The higher up you are, the colder and drier it will be.
• Relief.

Climate factors are the conditions that affect the climate characteristics of a particular location. There are six major natural climate factors: air masses and winds, latitude, ocean currents, elevation, relief, and bodies of water.

What are the six major controls of the climate of the world? Answer: Latitude: Due to the round shape of the Earth, the amount of solar energy received varies according to latitude. Ocean currents: Ocean currents alongwith the onshore winds affect the climate of a coastal area.

Complete answer: The six controls that affect the climate of India are latitude, altitude, pressure and wind system, ocean currents, distance from the sea and relief features.

Humans are increasingly influencing the climate and the earth’s temperature by burning fossil fuels, cutting down rainforests and farming livestock. This adds enormous amounts of greenhouse gases to those naturally occurring in the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect and global warming.

The evidence is clear: the main cause of climate change is burning fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal. When burnt, fossil fuels release carbon dioxide into the air, causing the planet to heat up.

According to NSTAR, 29% of energy use in non-residential buildings is used for lighting. If you turn off the lights whenever you leave a room, you can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 0.15 pounds per hour.
