Understanding Climate
Climate Zones
• Climate zones categorize regions based on long- term weather
patterns, characterized by temperature, precipitation levels, and
seasonal changes over extensive periods.
Factors Influencing Climate
• Key factors influencing climate include latitude, altitude, ocean
currents, and landforms, which collectively shape localized
weather patterns and overall climate characteristics.
Climate Classification
• Climate classification systems, such as Köppen and Thornthwaite,
organize global climates into identifiable groups, helping in the
study of ecosystems and agricultural strategies.

Weather Pattern and
Climate Change
Seasonal Changes
Seasonal changes refer to the transformation of weather conditions
throughout the year, influenced by Earth's tilt and orbit, affecting
temperature, precipitation, and daylight.
Weather Forecasting
Weather forecasting involves predicting atmospheric conditions using data
from satellites, radars, and meteorological models to inform the public and
aid planning.
CLIMATE CHANGE OVERVIEW
Causes of Climate Change
01 The causes of climate change include human activities such as burning fossil fuels,
deforestation, and industrial processes that increase greenhouse gas emissions in the
atmosphere.
Impacts of Climate Change
Impacts of climate change manifest through rising global
temperatures, increased frequency of extreme weather
02
events, melting ice caps, and disruptions to ecosystems and
biodiversity.
Global Efforts to Combat Climate Change
03
Global efforts to combat climate change encompass international treaties like the
Paris Agreement, initiatives for renewable energy adoption, and programs aimed at
reducing carbon footprints.

Adaptation
Strategies
Human Adaptations
Clothing and Shelter Adjustments
Clothing and shelter adjustments involve altering materials and designs to provide
protection against extreme temperatures, ensuring human comfort and survival in
various environments.
Agricultural Practices
Agricultural practices are modified through crop selection, irrigation techniques, and soil
management to enhance food production and sustainability, adapting to changing
climate conditions.
