Weather vs Climate: Crash Course Kids #281

Course Overview

In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina chats with viewers about the differences between weather and climate. Weather and climate are not the same, but both are important to how the geosphere is shaped. Through an example, Sabrina will develop a model to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact. Examples could include the influence of the ocean on ecosystems, landform shape, and climate; the influence of the atmosphere on landforms and ecosystems through weather and climate; and the influence of mountain ranges on winds and clouds in the atmosphere. The geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere are each a system, and assessment is limited to the interactions of two systems at a time.
