Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -LACEMOPS is an acronym which summarizes all of the important controls on climate. These are Latitude, Air masses, Continentality, Elevation, Mountain barriers, Ocean currents, Pressure cells, and Storm tracks. Most climates will have some combination of these elements. Very few places are affected by all of them.

Detailed explanation-2: -There is a relationship between latitude and temperature around the world, as temperatures are typically warmer approaching the Equator and cooler approaching the Poles. There are variations, though, as other factors such as elevation, ocean currents, and precipitation affect climate patterns.
