Weather in Canada
Weather: refers to the day-to-day conditions in the Earth’s atmospheres
We check measurements, such as temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, and relative humidity
Precipitation
Includes rain, snow, hail, and sleet
Relative Humidity Tells us how much moisture is in
the air, compared to how much the air could hold
Climate
Climate: long-term pattern of weather
Records show weather patterns which have occurred over long periods of time
5 major factors cause main climate regions
Mountains and Elevation Mountain ranges act as barriers to
the movement of air masses Colder as the elevation gets higher
As air rises, it expands and loses heat Mountain climate: cooler than
places at lower altitudes; often heavy precipitation
