Question

Explain the difference between climate and weather.


2. Explain the difference between windward and leeward.


3. What is a consequence of urban heat islands?

Answer 1

"The difference between weather and climate is a measure of time. Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time." https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/noaa-n/climate/climate_weather.html

Answer 2

Windward is the direction from which the wind is coming
Leeward is the opposite direction to windward

Answer 3

An urban heat island (UHI) is a city or metropolitan area that is significantly warmer than its surrounding rural areas due to human activities.

Answer 4

Also from heat absorption of buildings and black tops, the consequence is perhaps a warmer night as the heat from the day escapes into the night!
