"Contest writing expedition day 5" | Weather and Climate | by @bonaventure24

I bring to you all a special greeting from this part of the world, it's still me @bonaventure24 and welcome 🤝 to my blog today am very happy participating in this contest organised by @steemkidss as you all know am always writing about geography related topics and today is not an exception. Today I will talking about weather and climate and I believe after reading this you will find it very interesting and enjoyable trust me💪.

Definition of the term weather and climate
Weather is the atmospheric average condition of a place within a short period of time, say a year or more.

Importance of weather and climate

Source

• Many features of our natural environment such as the soil, natural vegetation and water resources are directly influenced by the condition weather and climates.
• Certain extreme weather condition produce environmental problems for human life and activities such as drought, high lands and rain storm.
• A combination of certain climate factors for instance temperature and rainfall have control over the growth and distribution of plant species.
• As weather and climate conditions varies from place to place, each climate type had a definite attributes which influence the nature of our environment.
• Human life are also affected in many ways by the changing condition of weather and climates.

Factors affecting climate

Climate varies from one part to another as a result of the affect of the following factors

Latitude: These areas are better than those within temperate in latitude, where the Sun's🌞 attitude is generally occur. Also the temperature are warmer then the polar latitude, this is the variation from one part of the earth surface to another important that brings about seasonal temperature change.

Planetary wind and pressure belt: As winds blows from the high pressure belt towards the low pressure belt, climate of places along their are brought about by difference in atmospheric pressure.

Distance from the sea: The land surface warm up and cool down more rapidly than the sea surface. The temperature of coastal areas are always affected by the same in summer and that of the warm wind in winters.

Ocean Current: Are caused by the planetary winds. These wind are: warned as they pass over current of warm sea water are cooled as they pass over surface of cold sea waters.

Latitude and relief: Areas of high lands and mountains usually have two affects of their climate.

Also high relief helps to create relief or orographic rainfall and rain shadow areas.
