Weather and Climate
The terms weather and climate are often interchanged by many people. many people may deem that two words are synonymous but if we look deeper, they have different meanings.
Base in my research:
"WEATHER is a state of the atmosphere, to the degree that it is hot or cold, wet or dry, calm or stormy, clear or cloudy while CLIMATE is the statistic weather, usually over 30 years interval."
It simply means that both terms refer to the specific atmospheric conditions. We can also define these two terms(Weather and Climate) as: The Weather refer to the atmospheric condition in a short of period of time while Climate refer to the atmospheric condition in a long period of time.
Now let us focus deeper about Weather and Climate:
Weather as what we have discussed refer to the atmospheric condition in a short period of time in this video we can learn what is really a weather.
Climate climate refers to the atmospheric condition in a long period of time in this video we can learn what is Climate.
Now were done discussing about Climate and Weather next we will study about the effect of Climate Change:
Climate change, also called global warming, refers to the rise in average surface temperatures on Earth. An overwhelming scientific consensus maintains that climate change is due primarily to the human use of fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the air. The gases trap heat within the atmosphere, which can have a range of effects on ecosystems, including rising sea levels, severe weather events, and droughts that render landscapes more susceptible to wildfires.
Some Examples of its effects is the El Nino in the Philippines:
What is El Nino?
El Nino is a climate cycle in the Pacific Ocean with a global impact on weather patterns. The cycle begins when warm water in the western tropical Pacific Ocean shifts eastward along the equator toward the coast of South America. Normally, this warm water pools near Indonesia and the Philippines. During an El Nino, the Pacific's warmest surface waters sit offshore of northwestern south america.
REFLECTION:
A.what concept on the topic did you find easy to understand? What made them interesting?
I find the topic weather and climate interesting and easy to understand because we already experience the effects of this that's why I can say its interesting and easy to understand.
B.What were your personal discoveries or learnings while studying the topic?
The book we have is understandable but I still learn that the book is not good enough because the information there is not complete and I learn the process of El Nino not in the book but in my research study.
C.Which area or concept would you like to expand more?
The most interesting topic would be the climate change because its one of the major problem and issue that the world is facing now a days.
