4.2 Climate Variables - Earth science
Name: _____ Water and Climate Date: _____ Period: _____ The Physical Setting: Earth science Lab Activity: Climate Variables INTRODUCTION:! The state of the atmosphere continually changes over time in response to the uneven distribution of energy in the atmosphere. The short-term changes in temperature and precipitation are funda- mental controls of weather, and their long-term averages are called Climate . Since Climate is aver- aged weather, we must take a look at the average temperature and average precipitation in a par- ticular region to determine the Climate . We know that there are many different climates on Earth . From tropical regions near the equator to the frozen deserts at the poles, each Climate varies tremendously and is characterized by its long term weather conditions.
PROCEDURE A: ANGLE OF INSOLATION! There are variations in the angle at which the sun’s rays strike Earth’s surface. You have observed the changing altitude of the Sun during the day and annual variation of the altitude of the noon
