DONE BY
WHEN DONE set up Cornell notes. Topic is
Climate v. Weather.
Set up Cornell Notes
• Topic: Weather versus Climate
What do you think?
• The following video talks about the weather
and climate change.
• While watching the video, think about the
point Stephen Colbert is trying to make at the
end of the video and how it might relate to
the ideas of weather, climate, and global
warming.

Weather
Weather refers to:
The state of the
atmosphere in a
particular place and
time.
Weather occurs over short
time periods. Predictions
usually cover days or
weeks.
Types of Weather
• What terms do you associate with weather?
What Causes Weather?
The Atmosphere
The Biosphere
The Oceans
The climate system is the interaction of the atmosphere,
biosphere, and other parts of the Earth.
• The climate system determines the weather at a
time and place.
• Weather is an expression of the climate system.
Temperature Difference From Normal (°C)
Studying Climate Involves Long-term Trends
http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs/
Climate is often calculated as the 30
year average of the annual weather.
Relating Climate and Weather
-What do the thick red and thick blue lines represent?
-What do the thin, fluctuating red and blue lines
represent?
Why is the Climate System Important?
• The climate system determines the weather.
The weather affects many of our daily
decisions.
• Climate affects long-term decisions by
humans.
• Climate affects long-term trends in plants and
animals.
