Weather and climate


One world, many climates

Climates vary hugely in different parts of the world. They determine what an area is like, and they affect the people who inhabit the region as well as the plants and animals that live there. There are eight main types of climate:

1  Polar areas are very cold, with strong, dry winds. The temperature in summer is never higher than
ten degrees centigrade, and ice and snow cover the ground.

2  Areas that have a tundra climate include Russia and North America. They are usually cold, with very short summers. There is very little rain. This means that not many trees can grow.

3  In mountain areas, the height of the mountains determines the climate.

4  Areas that have a cool temperate climate include Northern Europe and the USA. There is rain almost all year. The summers are usually warm, and the winters are not very cold.

5  Places that have a warm temperate climate, such as Southern Europe, southern parts of the USA and South America, have hot, dry summers. Winters are not usually cold.

6  Areas where there is less than twenty-five centimetres of rain each year have desert climates. North Africa and central Australia are examples. During the day it is very hot, but at night it becomes very cold.

7  In India and South-East Asia, there is a monsoon climate, so the weather changes suddenly. Months of heavy rain follow months of dry weather.

8  Places where there is a tropical climate are near the Equator. It is always hot and wet in these areas.
and rainforests grow there.

The longest swim

The longest swim On 7th April 2007 CE, the swimmer Martin Strel completed an incredible journey. He swam the entire length of the Amazon River! This was the longest swimming journey ever. Martin set off from Peru on 1st February and arrived in Brazil 5 sixty-six days later. The Amazon River in South America is a very dangerous place. It is home to the bull shark, which is the most dangerous shark to humans. He said that his best protection from predators was a group of pink dolphins. These friendly creatures accompanied him every day, swimming alongside him. Martin 10 kept up a strict routine during the Amazon swim. He stopped for a short break each day for lunch. Every day he swam around eighty-four kilometres. Before he completed this amazing journey, Martin had already broken other records.

Islands of Tuvalu-Reading

Islands of Tuvalu The nine beautiful islands of Tuvalu, in the Pacific Ocean, have always been at a very low sea level, They are only just above the surface of the ocean now, but the sea is rising every year Tropical storms on the island have begun to get much worse since the 1980 s. Rising sea waters cause floods. The floods are destructive - turning whole villages into lakes. One of the problems is that the sea water is making the land too salty, so it is impossible to grow any crops. This natural disaster has caused a feeling of sadness in the hearts of many, and experts believe it was caused by climate change. They think the problem is going to get worse. These tiny islands will disappear completely unless we can stop global warming. The Tuvalans face a difficult dilemma. If they stay in Tuvalu, their lives will be in danger and their resources will no longer become sufficient. However if they leave, they will suffer deeply Tuvalu is the only home they have ever known. ...
