Weather And Climate

ClimateClimate encompasses the statistics of

temperature ,humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind and precipitation.

Climate can be contrasted to weather ,which is the present condition of these elements and their variations over short periods.

The Climate of a location is found by altitude,latitude and terrain.

A region climate is generated by climate system which have five components.

The five components are atmosphere , hydrosphere, crysophere , land surface and biosphere.

Climate is commonly defined as the weather average over a long period.

Climate change over time period .

The organization of this is (WMO) known as World Meteorological Oraganization .

The term climate is change and is often refers to changes over modern climate.

RainfallThere are three types of relief rainfall

which are Relief Rainfall Frontal Rainfall Convection Rainfall

Relief Rainfall

It happens when the warm air rises

over mountains.Then it condenses and rain falls.

This is Relief Rainfall

Frontal Rainfall Happens when warm air meets with cool air .

Warm air is lighter than cooler air so its forced to rise .

This is Frontal Rainfall

Convection RainfallHappens when the sun heats up the ground which heats up the air which

rises. Then condenses and rain falls .

This is Convection Rainfall.

Water Cycles The water cycles is made up ofCondensationEvaporation Precipitation

Precipitation is when the water is that is in the clouds falls on earth .

Condensation is when the water vapour gets in the air gets cold and changes into clouds .

Evaporation is when the sun heats up water in lakes or rivers and turns it into vapor or steam.

The water vapour or steam leaves the river and goes into the air .
