The document discusses weather, climate zones, climate types, climates in Spain, climate change, and climate natural disasters. It defines weather as short-term atmospheric conditions and climate as typical conditions over a long period. It describes the main climate zones as hot, temperate, and cold, and provides examples of climate types like equatorial, tropical, desert, oceanic, Mediterranean, continental, mountain, and polar. It also outlines the climate zones found in Spain and the main causes and impacts of climate change, such as rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and drought. Finally, it lists some natural disasters linked to climate like hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, droughts, and forest fires.

1. WEATHER AND CLIMATE

2. Weather and
climate
• Weather refers to
atmospheric conditions at
a specific moment.
• Climate refers to the typical
atmospheric conditions in
an area over a long period
of time.

3. The earth
climate zones
• The earth has got many climate
zones but we can classify all of
them into three general
categories:hot(or torrid)
climates temperature climates
and cold(or frigid) climates
• Equatorial: climates have high
temperatures and a lost of
precipitation all year long
• Tropical: climates have high
temperatures all year long they
recive lots of precipitation in the
summer but the weather is dry
in the winter
• Desert climates recibe very little
precipitation all year long they
can also have very extreme
temperatures

4. Temperature
climates
• Oceanic:climates have mild
temperatures all year long they
recive a lot of precipitation
especialli in the winter
• Mediterranean:climates have
mild winters and hot summer
it rains in the spring and
autumm but summer are
usually dry
• Continental: climates have cold
winters and hot summer they
don recive very much
precipitation.

5. Cold climates
• mountain: climates are cold
• polar: have very low
temperatures

6. Climates zones
in spain
• Spain has got a varety of climates
zones all of them are influenced
by diferences in
latitude,distancefrom bodies of
water and altitude.
• Oceanic
• Subtropical climate:temperatures
are hig all year long and the isnt
lot of precipitation.
• Mountain climate
• Continental climate
• Mediterranean climate:there isnt
a lot of precipitation but there
can be torrential rains.

7. Climate change
• Climate change is caused by an
increase in the Earth´s
temperature.
• Scientists believe that the main
consequences of climate change
are going to include:
– Higher sea levels. The ice polar
zones is melting. This is going to
cause floods in coastal regions.
– More severe weather. Higher
temperatures are going ti cause
more violent storms.
– Drought. Some regions are going to
receive less precipitation, so they
won´t have enough water.
– Extintion. If the temperatures keep
increasing, many plant and animal
species are going to disappear.

8. CLIMATE AND
NATURAL
DISASTERS
• Strong winds: hurricanes and
tornadoes.
– A hurricane can produce winds of more
than 250 kilometres.
– A tornado is a column of air that comes
down from a storm cloud and rotates
violently.
Torrential rains can cause dangerous
floods.
Droughts are long periods of time with
little or no rain.
Hight temperatures can cause forest fires.
