Climate Types and Characteristics

The video tutorial explains the difference between climate and weather, highlighting that weather is a short-term atmospheric condition while climate is the long-term pattern. It discusses factors influencing climate, such as latitude, altitude, and proximity to the sea. The video categorizes climates into hot, temperate, and cold, providing examples like equatorial, tropical, desert, Mediterranean, oceanic, continental, polar, and high-altitude climates. It also addresses climate change, its causes, and impacts, urging viewers to take action. The video concludes by encouraging further learning through the educational channel.
