Another of the five factors that affect ___________ is _______________. Because the
________ radiant ___________ shines directly on areas ____________ the __________,
that is where the ____________ areas of the ____________ are found. Farther to the
_____________ and farther ___________, the angle of _____________ becomes
smaller, so there’s less __________ from the ________ at those ___________________.
At the _________ _______ and _________ _______ the ___________ of sunlight is so
__________ that very little ____________ finds its way to the earth’ ______________ in
those places. _______________ takes on an added ______________ as the ___________
makes its _____________ journey around the ________. That’s because the __________
__________ roughly ___________ degrees on its ___________. So when it’s at this
position in _____________ it’s ____________________ in the ____________
_______________ because the suns ____________ and ___________ is aimed more
______________ there. At the same time it’s _____________ in the _______________
______________. Half a year later, In January, when the ___________ position is here,

Now the ____________ ____________ of the five factors that affect ______________,
the earth’s ________________, that is its __________________ __________________.
________________ ________________ are an example of a topographical feature that

______________ weather _______________. An example occurs ______________
________________ on the shores of the ____________ _____________. San Francisco

_______________ _________and winters __________ __________. Pg. 1

The difference is the _______________ __________ that blow off the ____________ of
the _______________ _____________. They act as a kind of ______ ______________
system. Or take the case of the ____________ _______________which can for the most
