Climate, Weather and Life

what is the difference between weather and climate?

The global climate systems is powered and shaped by...

• the total amount of solar energy retained in the biosphere as heat and by the unequal distribution of that heat between the equator and the poles.

• the transport of heat and moisture by winds and ocean currents, and by geographic feathers such as mountain ranges, large bodies of water, and ocean currents.

• the locations of continents.

• unequal distribution of that heat between the equator and the poles.
