A scholar looks out the window in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and sees that it's very windy. The wind is an example of:

a. climate because it describes weather patterns over time

b. climate because it lasts all day

c. weather because it describes the conditions outside at a specific moment

d. weather because temperature is part of weather only, not climate

c. weather because it describes the conditions outside at a specific moment

San Antonio, TX has hot winters without snow every year. This is an example of:

a. climate because it describes weather patterns over time

b. climate because it lasts all day

c. weather because it describes the conditions outside at a specific moment

d. weather because temperature is a part of weather only, not climate

a. climate because it describes weather patterns over time

What is the difference between weather and climate?

Weather describes the conditions of the atmosphere (temperature, wind, precipitation) at a specific place and moment in time. Climate describes weather patterns over time.

Graph Practice

100

Record Scuba data in your packet

    

200

What does the data show you about the relationship between temperature and evaporation? How do you know?

The higher the temperature the more the water evaporates. I know because the height of the bar increases
