  - promote safety
* Some climates show little seasonal variation
  * ' means the usual condition of the temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, rainfall, and other meteorological elements in an area of the earth's surface for a long time. Climate is different from weather. Weather is the condition of these elements right now, for shorter periods of time that are up to two weeks.
  * can change after a long time. Recently, the world may be becoming warmer, as is discussed in global warming
  - aspects
  - the type of soils formed
* affects agriculture, energy use, transportation and population shifts
  - all living things on the planet
  - and shapes the land, plants and animals
  - equipment and radio propagation characteristics
  - everything
  - taxonomic similarity of regions, but only partly
  - tourism in many ways, directly and indirectly
  - water loss from a watershed as well as providing water
* also vary over time and change very gradually over decades and centuries.
* always changes
  - varies, even without human influence
* are conditions
  - environmental conditions
  - how warm and wet places are
* begins to cool and there is pronounced glaciation in the carboniferous.
* can be an influence on the development of cities
* can have dramatic impact
* change over time due to natural and human causes
  - years
  - rapidly on mountains, becoming colder the higher the altitude gets
  - slowly, and there are wet and dry cycles
  - threats to rare rainforest marsupials
* change, and plants and animals continue to evolve.
* changes dramatically
  - throughout the year
  - with increases in elevation
* comprises the average weather conditions that occur in a place over a period of years.
* controls salinity and temperature of the water which has everything to do with density.
* covers minimum and maximum temperatures for all four seasons.
* describes the long-term weather patterns over a specified time frame for a specific area.
* determine which plants and animals live in different places.
* determines building structure types as well as materials for construction
  - plant growth
* determines where cherries grow best
  - different species live
* differs widely within Temperate Asia.
* does, therefore, vary considerably regionally.
* drives sea change.
* exerts a powerful influence on the diversity and organization of continental ecosystems
  - an undeniable influence on the surface of the earth
* experience drought
* favor survival.
* forces a stochastic character on erosion and sedimentation.
* helps to determine what weather can occur in a region.
* impact health.
* influences the type of ecosystem present in a geographical area
  - weathering rates, particularly temperature and the availability of water
* is always dynamic, it vary from place to place and from country to country around the world
  - an environmental condition
  - continental and partly mediterraneous
  - dependent upon land masses and oceans
* is different from one part of the world to another
  - dry, due to the mountains that block the humidity coming from the Pacific Ocean
* is how hot or cold it is in a certain place over a long period of time
  - the atmosphere behaves over relatively long periods of time
  - like weather but over much longer time scales
  - midcontinental with hot summers and cold winters
* is perhaps the most important in soil profile development
  - ingredient in soil formation
  - pervasive, and often includes a broad array of organizational phenomenon
  - second only in importance to parent material as a controlling factor in soil formation
  - sub-tropical, tempered by trade winds
* is temperate continental
  - with generally warm sunny days and nights that can be cool
  - temperate, with well-marked seasons, dry summers and relatively rainy winters
* lasts all the time, but weather lasts only a few days
  - only for a few days
* link involves relationship of sea ice extent and global temperatures.
* may have effects.
* pinpoints areas of risk where training or skill development is advisable.
* plays a fundamental part in determining the movements of shorebirds.
* plays a major role in the moose-wolf relationship as well
  - stability of Canada s prairie wetlands
  - role in plant height, too
  - very important role in the genesis of a soil
  - an important role in landscape development
* processes on the Antarctic Plateau.
  - products
* range from cold and snowy in the mountain regions, to mild and sunny near the coast.
* ranges from Mediterranean to cool temperate
  - sub-tropical to cold temperate
  - the tropical in the low lands to the arctic at the higher altitudes
* refers to atmospheric changes that occur over decades and centuries
  - averages in weather conditions over a period of years
  - climate variability across time scales
  - the average weather characteristics in a given region
* refers to the conditions in the atmosphere in a place over a long period of time
  - of weather in one place or region over a long period of time
  - general long term conditions in an specific region
  - statistical collection of weather conditions over a specified period of time
  - weather over a long period of time
* regulates soil formation.
* relates to factors stretching from the ocean ' s depths to the atmosphere ' s outer reaches.
* remains relatively constant over longer periods and distances.
* results from long-term weather patterns.
* shapes the rhythm of their lives as well as their habitat and clothes.
* summarizes weather conditions over periods of time, usually months or years.
* therefore varies from weather because weather is concerned only with short term events.
* too has effect on our skin, scorching heat during summer cause severe itching in the body.
* varies according to altitude.
* varies by latitude due to two reasons
  - considerably across the United States
  - dramatically from one end of the country to the other
  - due to Honduras' diverse topography
* varies from humid tropical in the southern lowlands to temperate in the northern highlands
  - temperate rainforest, inland desert to snowfields in the south
  - tropical to subtropical in all areas except the high plateaus and the mountains
* varies greatly from north to south
  - summer to winter
  - naturally over time-scales of decades to millions of years
  - with elevation from desert up through juniper, pine, and spruce-fire forests
* vary from year to year and organisms adapt to the variation in climate.
* will have effects.

  * Climate regulates soil formation. Soils are more developed in areas with higher rainfall and more warmth.
+ Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Science: Cities in Russia
  * Climate is mild.

  * Climate has a very big effect on the way that humans live. Climate is different from one part of the world to another. Some areas are hot all the year, and some are cold. Some areas are dry all the year and others are wet. Most areas have climates that are warm or hot in the summer and cool or cold in the winter. Most parts of the world get rain at some times of the year and not others. Some parts of the world have seaside climates and others have mountain climates.
