The document discusses the key elements that determine weather and climate including temperature, pressure, wind, and moisture content. It explains that climate is defined by long term weather patterns over a region, while weather can vary daily and by location. Several factors control and influence weather and climate on both global and local scales such as latitude, altitude, proximity to bodies of water, ocean and atmospheric circulation patterns, topography, and particulate/gas levels.
