Climate and Weather
  • Weather the condition of the atmosphere in one
    place during a limited period of time.
  • Climate the term for the weather patterns that
    an area typically experiences over a long period
    of time.

3
Understannding Climate and Weather
  • Earths Tilt and Rotation- tilt on axis of 23.5

4
  • Earths Revolution
  • 365 days and 6 hours
  • creates seasons
  • Equinox- direct rays on the equator (equal day
    and night)
  • The Tropic of Capricorn and Tropic of Cancer-
    lines of Latitude.
  • 23.5 S and 23.5 N
  • When direct rays are on those lines, the longest
    day of night and day (Winter Solstice and Summer
    Solstice)

  • Poles- The Poles receive 6 months of sunlight and
    6 months of nighttime.

9
Elevation and Climate
  • As elevation increases, the thinning air retains
    less heat and cools.

10
Oceans and large bodies of water change climates.
The Great Conveyor Belt
11
Climate Patterns
  • Tropical
  • tropical rain forest- daily rain, canopy.
  • tropical savannah- yearly grasses and trees.

12
  • Dry Climates
  • desert- less than 10 inches of rain/year.
  • steppe- between 10 and 20 inches of rain/year.
    Supports grassland.

13
  • Mid-Latitudes- Seasonal Changes
  • marine west coast- increased atmospheric pressure
    due to rise in elevation heavy precipitation
    consistently cool.
  • Mediterranean- 40 degrees (N/S). Semi-dry
    climate.
  • Humid subtropical- mild winters, year long rains.
  • Humid continental- extreme weather changes

  • High Latitudes-
  • subarctic- permanent frozen subsoil (permafrost)
    begins.
  • tundra- trees cannot take root.
  • ice caps- glaciers are 1-2 miles deep

  • Peninsulas
  • Scandinavian- Norway, Sweden, Finland
  • Jutland- Denmark
  • Iberian- Spain and Portugal
