can i get websites that give me information about this:
1.) 6 FACTORS THAT CONTROL CLIMATE IN A REGION
2.) WHAT CONTROLS GLOBAL CLIMATE?
3.) HOW CAN 2 CITIES HAVE THE SAME TEMP BUT VERY DIFFERENT CLIMATES?
4.) HOW CAN 2 CITIES HAVE NEARLY THE SAME YEARLY RAINFALL BUT VERY DIFFERENT CLIMATES?
5.) HOW DOES ALTITUDE AFFECT TEMP.? WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEIGHT & ALTITUDE?
6.) HOW DO PREVALILING WINDS DETERMINE WHETHER A CLIMATE IS MARINE OR CONTINENTAL?
i knoooooooooo this is alot, but all i need is the websites in which i can find ALL of this info @. you dont need to give me a bunch of answers! thank you soooooooooh much in advance :) (link)

Hello,
Sounds like an interesting project. And I'm glad that you're looking for some pointers as to where to start rather than asking people to do the work for you. I hope you'll find this project interesting.
So, as a starting point:
1)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate
Wikipedia is the free open-source encyclopedia. It gives a good overview of what climate is and explains the difference between 'climate' and 'weather.'
It also gives an overview of what controls the climate in a region and what controls global climate.
2) Here's another website that is chockfull of information about climates and why they vary:
http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/climate.htm
3)And here's the BBC site on Geography and Climate:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/geography/weather/globalclimaterev1.shtml
4)This one might be the most directed to some of the questions you ask-- with information about latitude and marine climates.
5)For Specific U.S. Climate info, I would advise going to the NOAA website:
http://www.noaa.gov/
They have pretty detailed maps that show precipitation and temperature patterns in various regions of the U.S. and over time series, too.
These are just starting points and may lead you to other links.
Best of luck on your project!
Old Mongoose.
