Cheri-Lee Steyn Date: 2014-10-15 Environmental Science Atmosphere Lab response Qatar weather and Climate Qatar weather is a vital subject of study for researchers as well as students. The weather in Qatar remains almost the same all throughout the year, except the few winter months that the country gets. The climate of any place depends upon the geographical location of the place. Apart from that, the latitudinal and longitudinal extent of the country also determines the weather of the place. Qatar climate is also dependent on these features.

Chapter 7 biomes large terrestrial regions characterized by similar climate, soil, plants, and animals, regardless of where they are found in the world. climate an area?s general pattern of atmospheric or weather conditions measured over long periods of time ranging from decades to thousands of years. currents Prevailing winds blowing over the oceans produce mass movements of surface water called currents. desert In a desert, annual precipitation is low and often scattered unevenly throughout the year. During the day, the baking sun warms the ground and causes evaporation of moisture from plant leaves and soil. But at night, most of the heat stored in the ground radiates quickly into the atmosphere. forest systems are lands dominated by trees. grasslands

Physical impacts of climate change

Climate Change IPCC- established in 1988, intergovernmental panel on climate change. 2500 climate scientists, producing reports every six or so years projecting where we are in terms of the environment. Last one was in 2007 Each time a report is produced, scientists are more convinced that climate change is happening and can be attributed to human activity. -Difference between climate variability and climate change, you can get a cold year in the middle of a warming period, but the broader scale is climate change. -2-11.5? higher temperature by 2100. Can?t get it to an exact number because unless you are 100% certain, you really can?t be sure that anything will happen. Depends on CO2 emissions, parts of the globe,

Allie Furlo APES CH. 7 Weather- a set of physical conditions of the lower atmosphere such as temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind speed, cloud cover, and other factors in a given area over a period of hours or days. Climate- an area?s general pattern of atmospheric conditions over periods of at least three decades and up to thousands of years. Weather averaged over a long period of time. Three major factors determine how air circulates in the lower atmosphere: Uneven heating of the earth?s surface by the sun. The air is more heated at the equator where the sun?s rays strike more directly than at the poles where it strikes at an angle and spreads over a greater area. Solar radiation in tropical areas greatly increases evaporation, which increases precipitation.
