Clima

The video tutorial explains the difference between climate and weather, highlighting that climate refers to long-term weather patterns while weather can change rapidly. It describes three main climate types: polar, tropical, and temperate, each with distinct characteristics and ecosystems. Factors affecting climate include latitude, sea level, and proximity to oceans. The video also discusses natural and human-induced climate change, emphasizing the role of fossil fuels in global warming. Finally, it encourages viewers to reflect on how climate change might affect their lives.
