Weather and Climate

THE WATER CYCLE! Weather and Climate What is the cycle that is the basis for all weather? THE WATER CYCLE!

Weather and Climate Weather is the condition of the atmosphere at a particular time and place Temperature Rainfall Humidity Clouds

TROPOSPHERE! Weather and Climate What layer of the atmosphere does weather occur? TROPOSPHERE!

Weather and Climate What causes weather??? The sun is the main source of energy for the Earth but does not heat it evenly. Due to: different angle of light oceans and land absorb heat at different rates

Weather and Climate What causes weather??? This difference in heat creates different air masses and pressure systems. These differences create fronts and weather!

Weather and Climate The jet stream is a global high-altitude wind that blows at high speeds. (217 mph) The location of the jet stream can affect weather where you live because it moves weather systems.

Weather and Climate Climate – the average weather conditions in an area over a long period of time (many years)

Weather and Climate What causes climate? Latitude Altitude Prevailing Winds Ocean surface currents Nearness to land or water

Weather and Climate So………. What is the difference between weather and climate?
