Weather, Climate and the Water Cycle

What is the difference between weather and climate?

• Climate is determined by temperature

• Weather is determined by temperature

• Climate is at a set time weather is over long period of time

• Weather is at a set time climate is over long period of time

How does the sun's energy most directly influence precipitation in an area?

• Suns's energy drives the water cycle

• Sun's energy creates surface currents in the ocean.

• Sun's energy controls condensation.

• Sun's energy controls runoff.
