WEATHER AND CLIMATE

PROJECT: THE TICK SAILOR                      
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 ?
Water is found all over our blue planet. There are: 
                                                                              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 boil your food.
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 else?

The hydrosphere is the part of the Earth. It includes all the water.


  • How much water is in the world?
  • 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



What is the atmosphere?
What is precipitation?
How are clouds formed?
Why does it rain?
How is a rainbow formed?
What is weather?
Which elements make up weather?
What is air pollution?
What types of climate are there in the Earth Planet ?
What's the different between weather and Climate?
What is a season?
Why are days longer in summer and shorter in winter?
Which is the place on Earth that has the coldest climate?


What´s the weather like today? Is it typical of the climate in your region?
What are the characteristic features of the climate where you live?
Do any of your normal activities depend on the weather? Why?
Which people are especially interested in the weather forecast? Why?

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
Spain has got a variety of climate zones:
                                               
                                               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.
