Why is weather/climate considered a geographical aspect of social studies?

  • Daily life: The weather on a given day helps you decide what to wear or whether to bring an umbrella. Climate, which is the overall pattern of weather over a long time, affects what kinds of clothes you have in your closet for each season.
  • Homes: In places with cold winters, people build homes with good insulation and heaters. In warmer places, homes might be built with open designs and bigger windows to stay cool.
  • Food: A region's climate determines what kinds of crops can grow there. People in tropical places might grow fruits like bananas, while those in cooler areas might grow apples.
  • Jobs: The weather and climate influence the jobs people have. Farmers depend on the climate to know when to plant and harvest crops. People living near a coast may have jobs related to fishing or boating.
