CLIMATE
Every location on earth has characteristics that distinguish it from all other places. Climate is an essential part of a place's physical characteristics; it can influence many of the rest of a place's traits, such as its vegetation, wildlife, cultural landscapes and lifestyles.
CLIMOGRAPHS One of the best and easiest ways to
describe the climate is to use a climograph. Although a climograph does not provide complete climate information, it does portray two of the most important elements of climate -- precipitation and temperature.
What is the difference between weather and climate? weather- day to day atmospheric conditions
(precipitation and temperature) in a particular place for a short period of time.
climate- average of precipitation and temperature patterns over a long period of time
Vocabulary Precipitation - moisture in form of rain,
snow, or sleet.
Temperature - measure of heat and cold.
Climograph - a chart that shows a place's yearly climate patterns.
