Weather /Climate

1. Weather is a set of atmospheric conditions at a especific time

2. Climate is group of typical atmospheric conditions in a place
Climate (clima) se refiere a las condiciones climáticas o atmosféricas características de una región, en
general, en el largo plazo. Weather (tiempo) se refiere al estado climático o atmosférico en un
determinado momento.
The air around us

1. We live in the troposphere which has the air we breathe. Air is made up of oxygen,
nitrogen and small amounts of other gases, such as carbon dioxide. It´s the sky that we
can see. It´s where weather occurs.

2. The stratosphere is the next layer above the troposphere. It can reach to about 50 kms
above sea level. It’s where jet planes fly. It has less air and contains ozone layer.

3. The next layer up is the ionosphere. It’s next to space and there are satellites here. It has
very little air.
Measuring the weather

Scientists called meteorologists use instruments to

measure the atmospheric conditions.
A rain gauge
A anemometer
measures
gives us the
precipitation
speed of the
(rain, snow or
wind
hail)
A thermometer
measures the
temperature in A wether vane
the air. gives us the
direction of the
wind (N, S, W, E)

A barometer
gives us the air
pressure which
can indicate if it
will rain.
Climate I

Climate is the group of typical conditions in a place. Earth

has three main temperature zones: hot, temperature and cold
Climate II
Spain has a temperature climate
Protecting ourselves and the Earth

The ozone layer protects us against the

Sun’s harmful UV-B rays.

We should drink plenty of liquids to stop us

from dehydrating. We should wear sunglasses
and sunscreen and a hat

There are holes in the ozone layer but scientists also think that
the atmosphere has become thicker because of pollution.

Hurricanes are storms with very strong winds.

Floods happen when there is too much rain
Drought is the absence of water for a long time
