The is a phenomena that occurs in the atmosphere...
The is the that
The atmosphere has got many layers. The are the
and the
is the lowest layer of the atmosphere. It contains the air
we breathe.
: it contains very little oxygen. It contains the ozone layer
that protect us from harmful rays of sun.
Weather VS Climate
occurs in the troposphere, where we can find clouds, rain, wind and
lightning.
Is the state of the atmosphere at
a particular time and place.
To define the weather we need
to know the temperature, the
precipitation and the wind.
Example: Today in Madrid the
weather is cloudy.
Is the weather of a place over a
long period of time.
Example: The climate of Madrid is
Continental.
But… is the same weather than climate?
World climate zones
We divide the world into climate zones, depending on the amount of heat each zone
receives from the Sun. There are different climate zones:
• One hot zone
• Two temperate zones
• Two cold zones
HOT ZONE
TEMPERATE ZONE
TEMPERATE ZONE
COLD ZONE
COLD ZONE
CLIMATES IN HOT ZONES
• HOT CLIMATES
RAINFOREST
These places have high
temperatures all year and it
rains a lot.
Animals: Parrots.
SAVANNAH
Further away from Equator it
rains less so there is less
vegetation.
Animals: Antelope
DESERT
Very little rain so there is
little vegetation.
Animals: Scorpion
CLIMATES IN TEMPERATE ZONES
• TEMPERATE CLIMATES: Between hot zones and cold zones.
These climates vary: in some places it rains a lot, in others it rains only a little.
FOREST GRASSLANDS
Animals: squirrel Animals: Zebra
CLIMATES IN COLD ZONES
• COLD CLIMATES: Near the North and the South Poles.
It is cold all year. It rains very little, it is mainly snow.
TUNDRA HIGH MOUNTAIN
AREAS
Animals: polar bear Animals: Moose
• Most of Spain is in temperate zone, but the Canary islands are in the hot
zone.
•There are also
variations in climate
between the different
regions.
•There are five types of
climate in Spain:
and
