select the statement(s) that accurately describe factors that affect climate.
□ gravity
□ elevation
□ topography
□ ocean currents
□ latitude

Explanation:

To determine factors affecting climate:

• Gravity: Does not directly affect climate (eliminated).
• Elevation: Higher elevation → cooler climate (affects climate).
• Topography: Mountains, valleys, etc., influence wind, precipitation (affects climate).
• Ocean currents: Transport heat, modify coastal climates (affects climate).
• Latitude: Determines solar energy input (affects climate).

Answer:

Elevation, Topography, Ocean currents, Latitude (the checkboxes next to these options should be selected).
