This section describes Earth systems, the factors that influence
our climate, and the causes, both natural and human, of climate
change.
Weather is the everyday atmospheric conditions, the hour-to-hour, day-to-day changes in temperature, precipitation, wind, and cloud cover.
Climate is the annual average of the day-to-day weather conditions ( including seasonal extremes and variations) for a specific area or place. Climate patterns are created when annual climate data is averaged over a 30-year benchmark period.
