Use this interactive to explore the similarities and differences between weather and climate.
Place the statement cards where you think they belong. The three options are:
- statements that are related to weather
- statements that are related to climate
- statements that apply to both weather and climate – in the middle where the two circles intersect.
You can move the cards from one place to another, if you change your mind. When you are ready, click the Check answers button to check your ideas, then click the Reset incorrect button to try again.
Use the Download exercise button for a PDF of the diagram and cards.
The activity Differences between weather and climate has additional support in using this interactive.
