Question

What are the three main components that combine to influence weather? Define and describe each component.

Answer 1

The three components that combine to influence and change weather are temperature, air pressure, and precipitation. Temperature refers to how hot or cold the atmosphere is at a given place and time. It is largely influenced by the Sun’s heating of the Earth’s surface. Temperature can be measured in two ways - the more commonly used Celsius scale, or the Fahrenheit scale. Air pressure is the pressure caused by the weight of the atmosphere. A change in air pressure can be an indicator that a change in weather is coming, so it is an important component to monitor. Precipitation is water that falls back to Earth’s surface. Rain, snow, sleet, and hail are common types of precipitation. The type of precipitation that falls depends on the temperature of the air that the water falls through.

Answer 2

The three main components that combine to influence the weather is Heat, Air, and Water. Heat is defined as a form of energy that can be transferred from one object to another or even created at the expense of the loss of other forms of energy. Air is known as the atmosphere of Earth is the layer of gases, that surrounds the planet Earth and is retained by Earth's gravity. Water is an main constituent of Earth lakes, Oceans and Streams. It is important to have a water in our lives.
