Climate
Climate is a long-term change of the weather. Like the weather you are expecting. Climate is affected by large events. A earthquake or difference on sea level can have huge effects on the climate. A climate is a long term, steady weather temp. and type. The season or tilt of the earth affects climate. The moon affects climate. So many huge things affect it that if one thing is wrong it can be horrible. Imagine changing positions on the earths tilt with India. You would rise in seal level and then the heat would be crazy suddelnly it went from 10 degrees to 100.
Latitude
