Weather refers to atmospheric conditions in a specific time and place, while climate describes typical weather in a region over many years. There are five elements of weather: wind, atmospheric conditions, temperature, precipitation, and humidity. Climate is influenced by climatic factors like latitude, altitude, and distance from bodies of water. There are three main climate zones - polar, tropical, and temperate. Climate change due to global warming is raising Earth's temperatures and causing sea levels to rise through melting ice, with potential consequences like drought and species extinction. Proposed solutions include reducing deforestation, pollution, and energy waste.

2. WEATHER
• WEATHER and CLIMATE are two
different things:
WEATHER : Refers to the
atmospheric conditions in a specific
area and time.
CLIMATE : Refers to the typical
weather in a region for a long
period of time.

3. THE ELEMENTS OF WEATHER
• ARE 5 ELEMENTS OF WEATHER :
• WIND : Its the movement of air in
the atmosphere.
• We measure it with the WEATHER
VANE and ANEMOMETER.

4. THE ELEMENTS OF WEATHER.
• ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS : Its the
weight of air the atmosphere. We
measure it with the barometer in
millibars.
• TEMPERATURE : This is how hot or
cold the air is. We measure it with
TERMOMETERS in degrees.

5. THE ELEMENTS OF WEATHER
• PRECIPITATION : Its the water that
falls from clouds. We measure it
with a RAIN GAUGE.
• HUMIDITY : Its the amount of
water vapour in air. We measure it
with the HYGROMETER.

6. CLIMATE
• CLIMATIC FACTORS :
•To study climate, scientist
study precipitation and
temperature of an area for a
period of 30 years . The
information for each year is
put in a CLIMATE GRAPH.

7. LATITUDE AND
ALTITUDE
• LATITUDE : The sun´s rays are
stronger at the Equator. That´s
why equatorial regions are
warmer than polar regions.
• ALTITUDE : The higher a place is
above the sea level, the colder is.
That is why it is colder on the
mountains that in coast.
• LATITUDE.

8. DISTANCE FROM SEA
• The sea water heats up and cools
down more slowly than land.

9. CLIMATE ZONES
• ARE 3 CLIMATE ZONES :
• POLAR ZONES : They are near the
poles and in the mountains. They
have low temperatures all year
round . The little precipitations
they gets is in the form of snow.
• TROPICAL ZONES : They are near
the equator. They all have high
temperatures, but different
precipitacion.

10. CLIMATE ZONES
• TEMPERATE ZONES : There are two
of them on either side of the
tropical zone. Their temperatures
are between 0ºC and 20ºC,
depending on whether it is winter
or summer.

11. CLIMATE CHANGE
• GLOBAL WARMING : In the last few
decades, human activities have
increased the amoust of heat –
trapping gases. This cause the
atmosphere to store ( keep )
more heat than usual, raising
earth´s temperatures. Its call
GREEN HOUSE EFFECT.

12. CONSEQUENCES OF
GLOBAL WARMING
• 1 The warming of the earth´s
poles makes the ice melt, which
raises the level of our oceans.
The highest sea level will flood
our coasts.
2 Rising temperatures create
drought and desertification. Plants
and animals will not adapt and it
will die out.

13. SOLUTIONS TO CLIMATE
CHANGE
• POSIBLES SOLUTIONS : No
deforestation , plant more trees
and plants, no contamination and
do recycling , if you finish with
electricity, you turns off the tv or
the light.
