Differentiate between weather and climate Weather is the atmospheric condition of a place over a short period (days, weeks, hours, and month) but climate is the average condition of a place over a long period of time (35 years). Weather changes very often, but climate does not change very often. Weather cannot be generalized but climate can be generalized. Weather describes the atmospheric condition of a small area, while climate describes the atmospheric condition of large area.   Outline the characteristics of Sedimentary Rocks Sedimentary rocks are stratified/show distinct layers or strata. Sedimentary rocks may be coarse or fine grained depending on the nature of materials deposited. They are non-crystalline.…

Describe three main differences between Zeugens and Yardang In Zeugen, the hard and soft layers of rocks are arranged in horizontal bands while that of Yardangs are arranged in vertical bands. In Zeugen, there must be lines of fissure which permit wind abrasion to perform its work but in Yardangs, there is no line of fissure. Yardangs are easier to form than Zeugen.   What are the similarities between the lines of latitude and longitude Both are imaginary lines drawn on the globe. Both are measured in degrees. Both are used for the location of places on the map. Both contain great circles.   Describe the characteristics of the following…

Distinguish between: Latitude and Longitude Lines of latitude run from west to east while lines of longitude run from north to south. Lines of latitude are parallel to each other while lines of longitude are not parallel to each other but converge at the poles. Lines of latitude get shorter towards the poles while lines of longitude are of the same length. In the lines of latitude, the equator is the only great circle while in the lines of longitude it has many great circles as any opposite pairs of lines make a great circle. Lines are latitude is called parallels while lines of longitude are called meridians. Lines of…
