7. Why do different places experience different weather and climate? Learning Outcomes: Candidates should be able to: (a) differentiate between weather and climate (b) explain the daily and seasonal variations in temperature at a particular location (c) compare and explain the variations in temperature between different locationsExplain the differences in relative humidity in different locations (d) explain the formation of convectional rain and relief rain (e) explain how coastal temperatures are moderated by land and sea breezes (f) explain the formation of monsoon winds (g) describe and explain the distribution and characteristics of equatorial, monsoon and cool temperate climates (h) describe and explain the weather and climate of Singapore with reference to rainfall, relative humidity and temperature 8. What is happening to the Earth’s climate? Learning Outcomes: Candidates should be able to: (a) discuss climate change in the last 150 years (b) explain the greenhouse effect (c) discuss the natural causes of recent climate change (d) explain how human activities such as deforestation, burning of fossil fuels, rice cultivation and cattle farming increase greenhouse gases and lead to enhanced greenhouse effectExplain the impact of climate change such as sea level rise, extreme weather events and human health (e) describe the responses to climate change 9. Is the weather becoming more extreme? Learning Outcomes: Candidates should be able to:
