What is Climate?

21.0K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Masonry in Cold and Hot Weather Conditions01:21

Masonry in Cold and Hot Weather Conditions

355
In cold weather, masonry construction requires specific precautions to ensure mortar does not freeze before curing, as this can significantly weaken its strength and watertightness. Mortar temperature should be maintained between 60°F and 80°F to support proper hydration and curing. Below 40°F, mortar water must be heated, but should not exceed 120°F as high temperatures can reduce mortar's compressive and bond strength.
Other key practices include keeping masonry units...

Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

29.2K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Natural Selection and Adaptation01:15

Natural Selection and Adaptation

1.5K
Natural selection, a fundamental concept in evolutionary biology, is the mechanism by which evolution is driven, favoring organisms that are best adapted to their environments. This process enhances their chances of survival and reproduction. Adaptation, a key outcome of this process, involves genetic modifications that optimize an organism's functionality under specific environmental challenges, such as extreme cold or thinner air at high altitudes.
Beyond physical adaptations,...

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss01:57

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss

28.3K
Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Climate change adaptation is poorly understood. Historical U.S. weather data (1860-2000) shows weather impacts on productivity have lessened over time, challenging long-term climate change impact forecasts.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental science
  • Economic history
  • Climate change studies

Background:

  • Understanding climate change impacts requires historical data on adaptation.
  • Productivity is known to be affected by weather patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the historical impact of weather on U.S. productivity from 1860 to 2000.
  • To assess how these weather impacts have changed over time.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized cross-sectional and panel data analysis.
  • Examined weather data (temperature, precipitation) across U.S. history.
  • Quantified effects on agricultural and individual productivity.

Main Results:

  • Significant historical links found between weather and productivity measures.
  • Hotter and wetter weather had stronger effects earlier in U.S. history.
  • These weather effects on productivity have diminished in recent decades.

Conclusions:

  • The adaptive capacity of the U.S. has increased over time.
  • Past productivity-weather relationships may not accurately predict future climate change impacts.
  • Longer-term climate change impact assessments need to account for evolving adaptation.
