Climate Elements
- Temperature is how hot or cold the atmosphere is, how many degrees Celsius
(centigrade) it is above or below freezing (0°C).
- Humidity is the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere.
- Precipitation is the water that falls from the air to the ground. Precipitation
includes snow, hail and rain.
- Atmospheric pressure (or air pressure) is the weight of air resting on the
earth's surface. Pressure is shown on a weather map with lines called isobars.
- Wind is the movement of air masses from high pressure areas (highs) to low
pressure areas (lows).
Weather stations are places where a variety of instruments are used to measuring the
weather. The most important instruments used in a weather station are:
Rainforests or jungles are near the equator in Central America, parts Africa and Asia.
They are very hot and humid and contain a huge variety of plants and animals. It is
typical of equatorial climate with abundant precipitations.
Savannah or tropical grasslands are hot and dry, dominated by grass and occasional
trees. They have two different seasons a dry season and a rainy season. It is typical of
the tropical climate it is between the jungle and the desert.
Desert is an arid zone, where vegetation is extremely poor and it only grows in oases.
There are only a few plants like cactus, palm and esparto grass. This vegetation is
typical of desert climates.
Atlantic forest is the typical vegetation of Oceanic climate, which has temperate
temperatures and abundant precipitation all the year. An Atlantic forest has deciduous
trees.
Taiga is the typical vegetation of Continental climate, which has very cold winters as
well as very hot and humid summers. The taiga is made up of conifers.
