Seasons and weather Seasons • = period in a year marked by specific weather conditions, temperatures and length of day • divided into 4 seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter • cause of change of seasons: the result of the tilt of the Earth's axis. (23,5°) – the Sun's rays hit the Earth at a more direct angle - (not caused by how close the Earth is to the sun) • Northern Hemisphere X Southern Hemisphere – (Argentina and Australia - winter begins in June) – equator Winter • the coldest season of the year • 21st December (winter solstice) – 19th March • Features of winter: – temperature remains much lower – the days are shorter – snow fall, cold winds – dusty and dry atmosphere • Typical activities: ice-skating, hockey, cross-country skiing, sledging, skiing, snowboarding Spring • 20th March -20th June • melt of ice and snow, higher temperatures, the days – sunnier and warmer • refers to ideas of rebirth, renewal and regrowth • ideal - it is neither hot nor cold • season of happiness and joy for all living beings Summer • the hottest season • 20th June(summer solstice) – 22nd September(autumnal equinox) • Features of summer: – high temperatures – sun – storms – quite dry weather • Typical activities: swimming in a lake/sea, outdoor sports, sunbathing, going on vacation, taking a walks • holes in the ozone layer • summer holidays Autumn • • • • • 22nd September – 20th December „fall“ in the USA the weather - less pleasant, often rainy, windy and foggy changing colors of falling leaves a time for harvesting most crops Weather • = the state of the atmosphere at a particular place and time as regards heat, cloudiness, dryness, sunshine, wind, rain • refers to day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity • is driven by - air pressure, temperature and moisture differences between one place and another • w. forecasting = predict the state of the atmosphere for a future time and a given location • human attempts to control the weather • X climate • precipitation - too much moisture, 2 main forms • air pressure - the force that is applied on everything on the Earth • global warming- an increase in the earth‘s atmospheric temperature
