Climatic factors are natural features that influence the formation of climate in a particular part of the Earth's surface. They are:
- Geographical location
- Sea, ocean and air currents
- The water pools
- Relief
- Altitude

The formation and alteration of topography is very slow, imperceptible to human life. In contrast, changes in the atmosphere happen very quickly, sometimes in minutes. They affect people's health, daily activities, work processes and rest.
