Africa map
What is the difference between the Northern part of Africa and the Southern part ?
What are the geographical features of the Northern part?
What are the geographical features of Southern part ?
So what does the Difference show ????
![Page 4: Weather, Climate And Pressure[1]](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554c783eb4c9057c778b5867/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The reason ….
Geographically Africa is divided into two Hemispheres, Northern hemisphere and Southern hemisphere as the Equator passes through the continent. Thus Sahara is in the North and Grasslands lie in the South. This diversity is brought about by the Geography. The climate of a region is influenced by the Geography.

Thus geographically which are the different regions ?
What climate do we find in deserts, mountains, frozen lands , plateaus , plains, coastal lands ??????
Why is there difference in climate in these regions ??????????

Climate ??
Climate is the weather of a place averaged over a length of Time. (approx 30 yrs)
That’s why climate varies from place to place, creating a variety of Enviroments.
Climate changes with time.
Climate changes with Human activity – Like burning of Coal, Natural gas, fossil fuels.

Factors Affecting Climate
Latitude :
Solar energy is concentrated at the Equator. This explains why Tropical climates are always hot.
Towards the North and South Poles solar energy is spread out and is filtered by its longer, oblique- angled journey. (slanting rays). This explains why it gets colder towards the North and South Poles.
![Page 18: Weather, Climate And Pressure[1]](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554c783eb4c9057c778b5867/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Altitude :Altitude is the Height above sea levelThe solar energy (heat) is absorbed by
gases in the atmosphere. The atmosphere becomes thinner as altitude increases. This means that temperature falls by 6.5 degree C for every 1000m
High land causes rainfall
![Page 19: Weather, Climate And Pressure[1]](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554c783eb4c9057c778b5867/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Prevailing Winds :
Polar winds bring cold weather
Tropical winds bring warm weather
Sea winds bring precipitation (rainfall )
Land winds bring dry weather
![Page 20: Weather, Climate And Pressure[1]](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554c783eb4c9057c778b5867/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Distance from the sea :
The sea has a moderating influence over the climate
In summer it takes a long time to heat up – cooling the surrounding area.
In winter the sea takes a long time to cool – warming the surrounding area.
Warm ocean currents flow from tropical areas warming the surrounding areas
Cool ocean currents flow from the poles. They lower the temperature and bring Fog.
![Page 21: Weather, Climate And Pressure[1]](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554c783eb4c9057c778b5867/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
True or False
Solar energy is concentrated at the North and South Pole.
The atmosphere is thinner at the top of the mountain.
High land receives more rainfall.
Winds blowing form the sea bring dry weather
The sea winds bring rainfall.
Cool ocean currents cause Fog.
Tropical winds bring warm weather.

The Facts..
Earth is not the Only Planet with a variety of weather conditions.
For Eg : Titan, a natural satellite of Saturn also has Atmosphere.
Weather also affects the agriculture, transportation, industry and delays flights.
Do you know HOW ?????

Winter snows and Fogs delays transportation and Flights.
Weather affects agriculture as in todays days we don’t know how the weather will be like ?????????/
Why are we so unsure of weather?????
Has weather affected Human Life ?

What causes Weather ???
Weather takes place in Atmosphere, the layer that surrounds the Earth. Air is a mixture of gases and suspended particles (dust).
Nitrogen is available in large number
78 %
Oxygen is 20 %
Other gases constitute 1 %

The other gases also play a vital role in Earth’s Atmosphere
Eg Water Vapour is an invisible gas but without this gas there would be no clouds , no rain, no snow, not even plants and animals.
Ultimately What would it Affect ???????

Most of the weather occurs in the lowest part of the Atmosphere. (Troposphere )
How is the atmosphere held around the Earth ?
The force of gravity pulls the gases of the atmosphere towards the Earth and prevents them from escaping into space.

Types of Weather
Temperature :
describes how hot or cold is the air.
Precipitation :
describes any type of water falling from the atmosphere, includes rain, snow, hail.
Air Pressure :
describes the weight of air. Warm air rises causing low air pressure. Cool air sinks causing high air pressure.
![Page 33: Weather, Climate And Pressure[1]](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554c783eb4c9057c778b5867/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Wind :
The movement of air from one place to another. Wind blows from high pressure to low pressure areas.
Humidity :
Actual amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.
Clouds :
Tiny water droplets in the atmosphere.

Why do we have seasons ?
The Four seasons – Spring , Summer, Autumn and Winter are caused by the tilt of the Earth’s Axis. As the Earth moves around its axis, different parts are tilted towards the Sun for a few months at a time. The part leaning towards the Sun has Summer, while the part leaning away from the Sun has Winter.

Greenhouse effect

What is greenhouse Effect
The Greenhouse effect is caused by cars, factories and power stations, releasing gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Like a house these gases trap the heat and gradually make the climate warmer.

Sea breeze
Have you noticed that people go to seaside on hot sunny days – to enjoy the cool sea climate. These breezes are caused due to the difference in temperature between land and sea. The land and the sea heat up at different levels.
![Page 42: Weather, Climate And Pressure[1]](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554c783eb4c9057c778b5867/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Sea breeze
Sea breezes are light winds that travels from sea to land.
During the day the land warms up quickly. Comparatively the sea warms up more slowly. In summer the difference in temperature between the sea and land is quite big. This helps the winds to move. The warm air over the land rises and the cool air of the sea replaces it.
![Page 43: Weather, Climate And Pressure[1]](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554c783eb4c9057c778b5867/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Land breeze
At night the land cools down faster than the sea. The air above the sea is warmer than the land and it rises creating a low pressure area. Thus the breeze form the land moves to the sea.
