Q1 of 58 Page 18

Have you been to places that have a different climate than where you live? Describe it in the class.

Climatic conditions vary greatly across places because of the location. The location of a place in a region of the
Earth is important in determining the temperature and atmospheric conditions.

Students can form groups and have a detailed discussion with reference to various places they have visited. They can then compile and analyse the difference in temperature as well as the plantation and vegetation that vary across regions.
