What is the difference between climate and wheater??

Climate is more of a long-term, permanent state. For example, a rain forest climate would be wet and warm year-round. Weather is constantly changing; weather includes temporary states like rain or cloudiness. Weather is affected by winds, temperature and humidity.

>>>>Which nation has the most diverse climates?\n\nThe trouble is that the question doesn't really make much sense. As you point out yourself, you don't know what 'different climates' even means. Neither does anyone else. Ther are an infinite number of climates. Your house for example dooes not have the same climate as your neighbours house. \n\nBecause climates aren't organised in any menaingful way we can't really give a menaingful answer.\n\nYou could ask which nmation has the greatest variation tempetaure, or reainfall, or is affected by the greatest number of major weather systems or conatins the most major biomes similar quetsions and wecould answer those. But 'climates', that's meaningless.\n\n>>>>>>I know the US has just about every climate - tropical, arctic, desert, four seasons, etc.\n\nWell no, the US doesn't have just about every climate. It doesn't have Siberian tundra climate for example, that is found only in Mongolia. It doesn;t have a Riveiera mediterranean climate for example. That's found only in France. And so on and so forth.\n\nAs you point outm youu don't actually know what you mean 'by' climate so you can't say the US has justabout every type.\n\nIn terms of tropical climates the US only qualifies because it counts Hawaii as part of its landmass despite being separated by thousands of miles. But if we are playing by those rules then France can include New Caledonia and the French Antarctic Territories and Great Britain can claim the Falkland Islands and Bristish Antarctic Territory.\n\nAs a result the US, being entirely confined to northern hemisphere climates and Antarctica, has a very poor representation of climates, much less than Engalnd and much, much less than France.\n\nAs you can see it depends too much on undefined factors to give any sort of meaningful answer.  If we are talking about just range of major climate types and we get to include non-contiguous offshore territories like Hawaii then the answer would be France. If we are only including contiguous onshore territories then Australia, Chile or China would encompass the greatest number of major climate systems.\n\n___________\n>>>>>Tropical means temperatures in the 80's and 90's almost year round.+ Very high humidity and dew points.\n\nDavid is also totally wrong on this spoint. Tropical means lying wihtin the tropics, ie between the tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. The summit of Mt Kilamanjaro is tropical, it is  also permanently snowbound.

Read a book called Guns, Germs, and Steel or get it on video if you're lazy.  Basically the author of this book explains how geographic and climactic factors favored agriculture in Europe as their society evolved, this gave them a head start towards modern society.  Africa's climate continues to be less favorable for agriculture and industry.  And in many places their social structure remains focused on survival rather than "progress".  Thats not the whole story, but its a big piece of the puzzle.

Summer: Hot and a bit breezy \n\nWinter: Freezing and windy \n\nFall: Brisk and slight wind \n\nSpring: Cool (moisture in air) and breezy

I live in Alaska, so pay attention.  The earth is tilted; it doesn't spin at a right angle to the sun.  In summer, the north pole is tilted toward the sun, and as a result, the sun appears to circle the horizon, never actually setting.  In the winter, the opposite occurs.  The sun may peak over the southern horizon, but further north it never really rises.  In spring and fall, there is no difference from the rest of the U.S.

Climate change refers to the variation in the Earth's global climate or in regional climates over time. It describes changes in the variability or average state of the atmosphere—or average weather—over time scales ranging from decades to millions of years. These changes may come from processes internal to the Earth, be driven by external forces (e.g. variations in sunlight intensity) or, most recently, be caused by human activities.\n\nclick here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change

Wheat ( Triticum spp ) is a grass that is cultivated around the world .

in the northern hemisphere, above the equator, during winter the tilt of the earth spreads out the suns rays over a wider area, so there is less energy per square mile than in summer, that's why it's colder in winter. \n\nIt's colder up in the mountains because the air is thinner, and can hold less energy than the thicker air at lower elevations.\n\nThe earth's distance from the sun varies a bit through the year but it's not much of a factor in the temperatures.  Latitude (distance from the equator) and the seasons are the predominant reasons it's warm or cold.

Very generally, west coast temperatures are dominated by the prevailing winds from the west, which bring in ocean-temperature air. The ocean has a larger heat capacity than the land, so it tends to stay cooler than the land in summer and warmer than the land in winter. Also, in the summer the Pacific tends to be cooler than the Atlantic, so the east coast has less relief from heat even on days when the wind is blowing from sea to shore.

Well some obvious differences are:\n\nTornadoes form over land. Hurricanes form over water.\n\nHurricanes are huge, tens to hundreds of miles across.\nTornadoes are rarely more than a hundred yards in diameter.\n\nHurricanes linger in the ocean for days or even weeks.\nTornadoes are usually gone in under an hour.\n\nHurricanes are rated by their wind speed: Category 1 70 mph winds to category 5 180 mph winds.\n\nTornadoes are rated by size (I think), F1 through F5.\n\nTry any web site having to do with weather or meteorology for lots more info.\n\nThe National Weather Service, The Weather Channel, etc.

weather - this is the condition of a day over a small period of time. for example a day \nclimate - this is the condition of the atmosphere over a large area reckoned by its weather over a span of 35 years . north America has a cool climate is an example of where you use climate .\ntoday's weather is warm . this is an example of where you use weather . \nquestion solved????

we have the hottest country, dryest country, most moist country, coldest country in asia..that's why it's like a fusion\nall type of climate in one continent...we have country that have seasons and we have country that does not have seasons..for example japan has four seasons, but singapore does not have seasons

Depends on where you live.  In the polar regions, it snows alla time, it never rains.

Summer = very hot and green.  \nFall or Autum = cooler and dry and plants turn colors and leaves fall off the trees and the days get shorter\nWinter = cold dark snow falls and things freeze\nSpring, New life, riot of colors due to flowers and lots of fragrant flowers and it warms up.  lots of rain.

I don't agree with that conclusion.\n\nIf what you said were true, then it would follow that states with four seasons would, similarly, be more progressive, correct?\n\nHowever, Southern California is a desert, and also one of the more progressive areas in America.\n\nI belive you're confusing cause and effect.  Many of the countries in similar regions (and thus with similar weather patterns) will share political and societal ideas.  However, the two are not related.

there are many differences but, the grain of wheat grows at the top of a stalk while barley grain grows inside of a pod (like a pea)
