This new friend is called Garrapata (tick) . He travels through the seas and oceans of our planet.
We are going to learn about this important element : THE WATER
- Where can we find water ?
Sea Water . This water is called salt water.
Fresh water : rivers, lakes and steams.
Groundwater: it's found under the Earth's surface. For example aquifers and wells.
Snow and ice : Glaciers and Icebergs.
- Uses of water:
You use water to wash your hands.
You use water to scrub the floor of your house.
You use water to swim.
Farmers use water to water their fields.

- What the different parts of the water cycle are ?
- Where does the water go?
- Is there water in the air?
- Do plants give us water?
THE ATMOSPHERE, WEATHER AND CLIMATE
The atmosphere is the layer of gass. It's composed of nitrogen, oxygen and other gases. The atmosphere is divided into different layers:
- Troposphere
- Stratosphere
- Mesosphere
- Thermosphere
- Exosphere
- ionosphere

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLIMATE AND WEATHER
The weather is the set of features that presents the enviroment at a time in a particular place.
So, we are talking about a cold day , a rainy afternoon or a weekend of a sunny week.
Climate is the atmospheric weather that predominates in an area over a long period of time. In this way, we can know that winters are cold in a city or it rains a lot in the fall in a region.
THE CLIMATIC ELEMENTS:
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Wind
- Rainfall
- Atmospheric pressure
- CLIMATE ZONES IN SPAIN
Oceanic climate
Continental Mediterranean Climate
Subtropical climate
Mountain Climate
Mediterranean climate
OCEANIC CLIMATE
There is little difference between seasons. There is a lot of rain.
Winters are not very cold . Summers are cool.
CONTINENTAL MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE
It is the main climate in Spain. There isn't a lot of precipitation. Winters are mild. But it is not much snow.
Summers are warm. Winters are cold and summers are very hot.
SUBTROPICAL CLIMATE
Temperatures are high all year long and there isn't a lot of precipitation. The Canary Islands are near the hottest area of the planet. The temperatures are high throughout the year.
MOUNTAIN CLIMATE
In areas of high altitude. Winters are cold and summers are mild. There is a lot of precipitation in summer and It snows a lot of in winter .
There are very low temperatures in winter and cool weather in summer.
MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE
The Mediterranean Sea has an important influence on this climate on this climate zone.
Summers are hot and winters are mild.
There isn't a lot of precipitation but there can be torrential rains.
