Document Summary
Looking at a chart we can see the number of extreme events increasing throughout the years, which impacts the increasing damage. When discussing weather, were looking at present conditions, not a recurring pattern (ex. climate) Climate example: the average temperature for the month of is . Agriculture for example, crops can only cultivate under certain climates (conditions). Specific parts of the world will be impacted by certain problems- ex drought. Some places, these conditions are not recurring year after year, but they"re normal. Climate change can provide a context to this problem. Could be changing the pattern of the jet stream- how cold air is moving around the northern hemisphere. Patterns are changing over time, features remaining throughout time the same as well. Temperatures are increasing through climate change, however cold snaps are associated with this. Also how we construct buildings taking into consideration specific climate in an area. We can observe prevailing direction of the wind.
