Answer:
Here's Your Answer
Explanation:
1. There are six main components, or parts, of weather. They are temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind, humidity, precipitation, and cloudiness. Together, these components describe the weather at any given time.
2. Meteorologists use computer programs called weather models to make forecasts. Since we can't collect data from the future, models have to use estimates and assumptions to predict future weather. The atmosphere is changing all the time, so those estimates are less reliable the further you get into the future.
3. The difference between weather and climate is a measure of time. Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time.
4. Since the Earth is tilted at its axis, the poles do not consistently receive the same amount of sunlight throughout the year. ... Therefore, it is hotter at the equator than at the North Pole because the sun's heat is concentrated directly overhead at the equator. The higher the sun in the sky (angle) the warmer it is.
5. Polar bears live in one of the planet's coldest environments and depend on a thick coat of insulated fur, which covers a warming layer of fat. Fur even grows on the bottom of their paws, which protects against cold surfaces and provides a good grip on ice.
6. Insulation. Another way to minimize heat loss to the environment is through insulation. Birds use feathers, and most mammals use hair or fur, to trap a layer of air next to the skin and reduce heat transfer to the environment.
7. The hair and feathers of desert animals, found in thick layers on animals such as camels, desert sheep and ostriches, can insulate against both heat and cold. Sweating and panting, desert adaptations known as evaporative cooling, helps many large mammals to accelerate heat loss.
8. Adaptive Features Adapted by Elephants for Living in the Tropical Rainforest. They have a strong sense of smell and uses its trunk for smell and to hold food. They also use their trunk to hold food. They have long ears which help them in keeping cool in hot and humid climate.
9. Wet clothes dry faster – in dry weather. On a humid day, there is moisture in the air. On a dry day, the moisture in the clothes more easily evaporates.
10. Distance from the sea
The sea has a moderating influence on the region close to it. Compared to land, water takes longer to heat and cool. Thus, oceans heat up and cool down slower than the land around them. Cool sea breeze keeps the coastal areas cooler in summer and warmer in winter than places far away from the sea.
