Topic: How Climate Affects Us

How Climate affects us Climate: Average weather in a given region over a long period of time Weather: Day to day activity… temperature and rain, etc.

Questions about Climate… How hot or cold is it over a period of time? How much rain falls throughout the year? How long is the growing season?

Factors of Climate Atmosphere: “blanket of air” around the earth Average temperature Average precipitation Length of the growing season - time a place is free from frost - plant after the last frost of spring and grow until the first frost of fall How does climate affect our lives?

Climates around the world… What are there differences in climates around the world? Latitude - distance from the Equator Altitude - elevation or height of land Winds - dry or wet Nearness to Water - slower to heat up or cool off Ocean Currents - creates all weather
