Explanation

Latitude affects climate: equatorial regions (0-10°) have year-round heat and rainfall. Tropical (10-23.5°) have wet and dry seasons. Temperate (23.5-66.5°) have four seasons. Polar regions are cold year-round.

Altitude affects temperature: temperature drops about 6.5°C per 1000m elevation. Mountains may have snow even in tropics. Jos Plateau is cooler than surrounding lowlands.

These factors interact: coastal highlands at equator differ from inland lowlands at same latitude. Understanding climate factors helps predict conditions in unfamiliar locations.
