Philippines: Local Weather (Standards-Based Instructional Plan) Description: The awareness of local weather and climate is necessary in our daily lives. Weather and climate affects the decision that we make every day. The weather forecast warns our local farmers‚ aircraft and maritime operations‚ the local government and other agencies and institutions for daily precaution and disaster preparedness. This topic introduces the definition of weather and climate‚ followed by the description and factors

Dylan Osborn Weather and Climate T/Th 2:05 Mr. Robinson Hw #1 q’s #8‚12‚13‚21 8. The three abiotic spheres are the Atmosphere‚ Hydrosphere and the Lithosphere. Each one of these spheres interacts with each other and the biosphere in unique and different ways. The atmosphere works with the biosphere in that it uses the gases released from living things to form itself. It also receives gases from the Lithosphere‚ or the earths crust to help form itself. The atmosphere helps all living

Shanequa Miller Weather and climate are two similar but different things. Weather is the short term properties of the troposphere at a given place and time. We see everyday how weather works. Climate is the average long term weather of an area. The earth’s climate has warmed and cooled since long before we came onto the scene. Climate lasts longer then weather. Weather can come and go quickly when climate will only change a little at a time. Does weather impact our climate and environment? That’s

Why study weather and climate: Influences our daily activities Influences agriculture‚ energy use‚ weather resources‚ transportation‚ and industry Understand and predict severe weather Understand‚ predict‚ and mitigate long term changes Hurricane Irene: one of the top 10 hurricanes since 1980.

The difference between weather and climate is that weather consists of the short-term (minutes to months) changes in the atmosphere. Most people think of weather in terms of temperature‚ humidity‚ precipitation‚ cloudiness‚ brightness‚ visibility‚ wind‚ and atmospheric pressure‚ as in high and low pressure. There are lots of factors that influence our climate Elevation or Altitude effect climate Normally‚ climatic conditions become colder as altitude increases. “Life zones” on a high mountain reflect

Geo-Engineering: Controlling the Climate and Weather Recall the pleasure derived from the last time you took a walk through a park on a day when the weather was perfect. The sunshine was bright‚ the temperature was perfect‚ and perhaps there was a slight breeze that left you the ultimate feeling of refreshment as it caressed your face. Or perhaps you can remember the last time you enjoyed the sounds and smells of a light April shower that left the trees and grass looking so green and the air

and discuss its role in climate and weather. (25) Mass flows of water‚ or currents‚ are essential to understanding how heat energy moves between the Earth’s water bodies‚ landmasses‚ and atmosphere. The ocean covers 71 percent of the planet and holds 97 percent of its water‚ making the ocean a key factor in the storage and transfer of heat energy across the globe. The movement of this heat through local and global ocean currents affects the regulation of local weather conditions and temperature

all the parts of Earth where all living organisms can exist. The lithosphere is the solid‚ inorganic part of earth. It is the rocks of the earth’s crust as well as broken and unconsolidated particles of mineral matter that overlie the solid bedrock. 5: In what ways do the inner and outer planets (the terrestrial and Jovian planets) of our solar system differ from each other? A: the inner planets are rock based‚ having their majority being rock based while the outer planets are gaseous‚ not really

It is important to understand the difference between weather and climate. Weather is a set of physical conditions of the lower atmosphere‚ including temperature‚ precipitation‚ humidity‚ wind speed‚ cloud cover‚ and other factors‚ in a given area over a period of hours or days. Weather differs from climate‚ which is the general
