Difference between weather and climate
The difference between weather and climate is a measure of time. Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time.
When we talk about climate change, we talk about changes in long-term averages of daily weather. Today, children always hear stories from their parents and grandparents about how snow was always piled up to their waists as they trudged off to school. Children today in most areas of the country haven't experienced those kinds of dreadful snow-packed winters, except for the Northeastern U.S. in January 2005. The change in recent winter snows indicate that the climate has changed since their parents were young.
If summers seem hotter lately, then the recent climate may have changed. In various parts of the world, some people have even noticed that springtime comes earlier now than it did 30 years ago. An earlier springtime is indicative of a possible change in the climate.
Desciption of variations( maps used) :Australia’s size means there’s a lot of climatic variation, but without severe extremes. The southern third of the country has cold (though generally not freezing) winters (June to August). Tasmania and the alpine country in Victoria and NSW get particularly chilly. Summers (December to February) are pleasant and warm, sometimes quite hot. Spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are transition months, much the same as in Europe and North America.
- Climates differ in different parts of the earth because of the angle of light that hits that particular part of the earth, how much heat is distributed to that part of the earth by winds and currents, and the elavation of the land.
In perth there is a low pressure front Showed by the Isobar (black line) which means the pressure is equal And in Sydney there is a High pressure front showed by the Isobars
H = High Pressure
L = Low Pressure
H = High Pressure
L = Low Pressure
The atmosphere that surrounds the Earth is in a state of constant motion. Because of this, the atmosphere contains different air masses, temperatures, and moisture. With the air masses moving at different speeds and levels it causes the changes in weather
