weather Patterns

• Climate and weather patterns differ as climate is more long term.

• The Earth rotates extremely slow at a rate of 24 hours

• Revolution is how many times it takes a planet to make a full trip around the sun

• Rotation is how long it takes to spin around its own axis

• We have weather patterns because of the tilting of Earth

• Air circulation in the water also causes tides

• the Earth is divided into three areas

Differential heating- uneven distribution of heating

Centrifugal force is the forece pushing away from us. gravity is stronger though

Transpiration is when water evaporates from plants which makes the air humid

Rain shadow region- the region of the earth surface on the opposite side of the mountain that has less of an impact
