Question

Explain role of temperature in climate.

Answer 1

Hint: The smallest aspects of our everyday lives are influenced by temperature from what we wear to how we get to work to what we eat for lunch. We will never go for a day without having to know what the temperature is or is going to be. After all, few people would want to walk in a snowstorm to work or school, or if it is up to 90 degrees outside, they can enjoy a bowl of hot soup. Temperature therefore plays an important role, and understanding what temperature is how it is measured, and what effects it can have for society as a whole is useful.

Complete Answer:
The earth climate is dependent on temperature. If temperatures are low then the climate of that place will be colder while if temperature of a place is more or high the climate will be hotter.

The most basic thing to understand is that the hot air wants to rise while the cold air wants to sink. Hot air contains less molecules per cubic meter, while cold air contains more so warm air rises over colder air. The most popular example is the presence of a hot or cold front. These fronts are essentially a barrier between hot and cold air.

When the sun heats the earth, it allows water to evaporate on its surface. The evaporated water is consumed by warm air and rises to produce clouds. The greater the evaporation, the more clouds are formed. Around the same time, whether the temperatures on the earth's surface are wet or hot, the atmospheric humidity rises. When you have high humidity and the front passes over it the motion triggers rainstorms, thunderstorms, snowstorms, etc.

When you have a hot or cold dry environment, a high-pressure system is created. The air in a high pressure area is moving clockwise. There is a counter clockwise movement of air in a low pressure environment, hot air with a lot of clouds. There is a constant war between high and low pressure systems going on all over the planet, which in turn causes our weather to be as it is.

Note: Human activity, in particular greenhouse gas emissions, is known to be the primary cause of temperature rises.
- In the last 22 years, the 20 warmest years have been reported.
- The temperature of a material has been described as a consequence of the speed at which its molecules are moving. The principle is that the faster the molecules travel, the higher the temperature of the material.
