  1. What’s the difference? Climate? Typical weather over a LOOOONG period of Weather? Over a short period of Wind Cloudiness Pressure Temperature Precipitation Hot Cold Wet Dry

  2. Weather Weather is the day to day condition of the earth’s atmosphere.

  3. What causes changes in weather? • The atmosphere is the layer above the crust where weather happens the causes weatherwhen it unevenly heats the surface.

  4. How does wind happen? Warm air rises into the atmosphere Warm air cools becoming denser Cool air sinks Producing Wind

  5. Weather Instruments • Thermometers: temperature • Barometer: air pressure • Anemometer: wind speed • Rain gauge: rainfall

  6. Questions for you! 1. How does the sun affect weather? 2. Where does weather occur? 3. What happens to air as it cools? 4. How is wind produced?

  7. Climate The location can be hot, cold, wet, or dry over an extended period of time. A LOOOOOOOOONG Time!!! What is our climate?

  8. Desert Climate?

  9. Tropical Climate?

  10. Rainforest Climate?

  11. Mountain Climate?

  12. Water Cycle

  13. Evaporation The sun evaporates water from the ocean

  14. Condensation Rain forms when water vapor condenses in the atmosphere forming clouds

  15. Precipitation Rain, sleet, snow, or hail falls to form and fill rivers

  16. What determines if it is rain, sleet, snow, or hail that falls? 30’ 19’ 10’

  17. Outflow Run off Pollution

  18. Accumulation Transpiration Water evaporates from the surface of leaves Infiltration Water soaks into the ground Water absorbed into the roots
