Understanding Climate and Weather Changes

The video explains the difference between weather and climate, highlighting that weather is temporary while climate represents long-term patterns. It emphasizes the importance of monitoring both weather and climate changes. NASA's role in observing Earth's climate, including tracking sea level rise and cloud changes, is discussed. The video concludes by stressing the importance of understanding Earth's climate changes.

What is an example of how quickly weather can change?

• A blizzard turning into a flood

• A sunny day turning into a cloudy day

• A rainy day turning into a snowy day

• A windy day turning into a calm day

How is climate different from weather?

• Climate is only about temperature

• Climate changes every day

• Climate is the same as weather

• Climate describes long-term weather patterns

Why is it important to monitor Earth's climate?

• To know when to carry an umbrella

• To predict daily weather

• To understand long-term changes

• To measure the speed of wind

What is one way NASA tracks climate change?

• By counting the number of birds

• By measuring sea level rise

• By observing the growth of plants

• By measuring the temperature of the sun

What happens as Earth's climate warms?

• Ice in Antarctica and Greenland melts

• The number of thunderstorms increases

• The number of sunny days decreases

• The Earth's rotation speeds up

How do NASA satellites help in understanding climate change?

• By observing the migration of animals

• By counting the number of stars

• By measuring the size and location of clouds

• By tracking the movement of tectonic plates
