**30 Points if you can help** Can anybody help answer some/all of these questions? 1) Explain the difference between weather and climate.

2) How would you explain to someone why we have seasons? Why does Hawaii not have all 4 seasons like other states on the mainland?

3) Why is the amount of light at the equator versus the poles having an effect on temperature? What are the two main factors that contribute to this difference?

4) Describe how air moves in the cycle of the Hadley Cell.

5) What causes atmospheric circulation? What winds drive Hawaii's weather?

whether is short term , months

climate is long term , years

seasons are created from the earths tilt

Explanation:

thats all I know good luck with the rest hope this helps :)

1.Climate is used to describe what the weather is like for long periods of time in a specific place. Weather is the short term changes in the atmosphere.

2.As the earth spins on its axis, producing night and day, it also moves about the sun in an elliptical (elongated circle) orbit that requires about 365 1/4 days to complete. The earth's spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. This is what causes the seasons.  This is because there is only a slight variation in length of night and day from one part of Hawaii to another and because all its islands lie within a narrow latitude band.

3.As distance from the equator increases, the amount of energy and sunlight changes. In winter when the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, light and energy spreads out over the tilted surface. As the Earth's axis tilts away from the Sun, the light and energy decreases with distance from the equator.

4.air rises up into the atmosphere at or near the equator, flows toward the poles above the surface of the Earth, returns to the Earth's surface in the subtropics, and flows back towards the equator.

5. The Sun heats the Earth more at the equator than at the poles. It's also affected by the spin of the Earth. In the tropics, near the equator, warm air rises. Trade winds drive Hawaii's weather.

answer; the above answer to the above statement is (true)
