Weather and Climate


Due to placement on the earth, Temperature varies to how close to the equator a country/continent is. Also, many places in the world suffer from heatwaves as there country is situated too close to the equator. The opposite to this are the places that are frozen over due to not enough hea t is able to reach the areas. In places such as Greece wildfires are occuring this is due to the dryness of the ground and the heat around causing crops and plants to catch alight. Weather is a mixture of events that happen each day causing temperature to rise or fall, rain to fallor even in someplaces of the world snow to fall. Climate however, is the average weather in an area over a period of years.

  1. Tornadoes form when two patches of air move towards each other. One warm patch and one cool patch.When they collide they form a spout shape and that soon turns into a tornado. by chloe and toni
