What is the difference between climate and weather? Give some examples of both. Where is Las Cruces on the map? What climate classifications are for our region? Where would you want to live based the map based on characteristics and the type of temperature you prefer? Why? You may need to look at a world map to see what country is where you think you'd like to live. You need to look at climate (overall weather happening in a place over a long time), precipitation (water from sky) and temperature classifications. It may help to quickly Google some of the terms as you decide. How extreme are temperatures in various places on Earth? (this is from the website maps) 5. How extreme are precipitation levels in various places on Earth? (this is also from the website maps) What types of heat transfer does the Sun "do" to the Earth? 7. How does energy from The Sun affect Earth? 8. Where is Las Cruces on this map? What is our "annual sum" of sunshine? What is our "daily sum" of sunshine? Las Cruces is classified as warm, temperate and dry/desert. Why, looking at the Irradiation map, would Las Cruces be called sub/tropical and desert? What about the Sun's energy to Earth in our location causes our climate? Now return to where you'd like to live. Make a similar comparison as you did in #9. How does where the Sun hits your perfect place make it the climate that it is?
