Weather and Climate Concepts

The video explains the difference between weather and climate. Weather refers to the short-term atmospheric conditions in a specific area, including factors like temperature, humidity, wind speed, and direction. Climate, on the other hand, describes the long-term atmospheric conditions of a region. Using Uluru as an example, the video illustrates how a single day's weather cannot define a region's climate. It also discusses Australia's diverse climate zones, including tropical and temperate areas. The video concludes by summarizing the key differences between weather and climate.

What is the main difference between weather and climate?

• Weather and climate are the same.

• Weather is short-term, climate is long-term.

• Weather is long-term, climate is short-term.

• Weather is only about temperature.

• Altitude

How often does weather change?

• Every year

• Every month

• All the time

• Never

What is the climate of Uluru?

• Wet

• Dry

• Tropical

• Temperate

Why can't a single rainy day determine Uluru's climate?

• Because climate is determined by long-term weather patterns.

• Because Uluru never rains.

• Because climate is only about temperature.

• Because climate is determined by a single day's weather.
