Located above the surface of our planet is a complex mixture of
gases and suspended liquid and solid particles known as the
atmosphere. Operating within the atmosphere is a variety of
processes we call weather. Some measurable variables associated
with weather include air temperature, air pressure, humidity,
wind, and precipitation. The atmosphere also contains organized
phenomena that include things like tornadoes, thunderstorms,
mid-latitude cyclones, hurricanes, and monsoons. Climate refers
to the general pattern of weather for a region over specific
period of time. Scientists have discovered that human activities
can influence Earth’s climate and weather producing problems
like global warming, ozone depletion, and acid precipitation.
