Weather and Climate
Weather and Climate
Weather refers to the short-term atmospheric conditions in a particular location. Climate, on the other hand, describes the long-term average weather patterns in a specific area.
Earth's Atmosphere
Earth's Atmosphere
The Earth's atmosphere is a protective layer of gases that surrounds the planet. It provides oxygen for breathing, filters harmful solar radiation and regulates temperature.
Weather Forecasting Process
Weather Forecasting Process
This involves gathering data from various sources, analyzing it using scientific methods, and predicting future weather conditions. It helps us prepare for potential hazards and plan our activities.
