Difference between weather & climate - Weather = changes temperature, humidity, wind and air pressure over a period of two to three days (conditions at a specific place over a short period of time) Climate = long term weather patterns occurring over a period of +- 30 years What are the main driving forces underlying the climate and weather pattern? - 1. The Earth spins on its own axis 2. Proximity from a coastal line 3. Latitude 4. Altitude What kind of weather you will expect after and ...

Physical Geography - Looks at the natural processes of the Earth, such as climate and plate tectonics. Human Geography - Looks at the impact and behaviour of people and how they relate to the physical world. Scientific Method - The Scientific Method looks to establish ideas, but also willing to modify, reject of change them when new evidence is found. The Scientific Method: 1. Observe 2. Form a question 3. Create Hypothesis 4. Test Hypothesis 5. Collect Data 6. Draw Conclusion The F...
