Drawing Watershed Boundaries When we talk about the hydrologic cycle and the water budget, we typically talk about these things in terms of watersheds. So first you should know what a watershed is.

 Watersheds are topographically defined areas –something like bowls. What we mean by that is that a watershed is separated from neighboring watersheds by high points on the landscape. You can think of a watershed as an area that, if precipitation falling into it was not evaporated back to the atmosphere and did not infiltrate into the soil, all of the water in the watershed would run downhill to the same stream. Delineating watershed boundaries. All watershed delineation means is that you're drawing lines on a map to identify a watershed's boundaries. These are typically drawn on topographic maps using information from contour lines. Contour lines are lines of equal elevation, so any point along a given contour line is the same elevation.

Weather and Climate.

Good morning.
Good day.
This is Vineesh.
Welcome to our our class.

Today's topic of discussion is about Weather and Climate, a simple and interesting topic. 
We all know that Geography is Spatial science deals with Man, earth and environment. Now a days we people are studying about Different spatial process and patterns.

Weather.

Weather is the state of the atmosphere, describing for example the degree to which it is hot or cold, wet or dry, calm or stormy, clear or cloudy. On Earth, most weather phenomena occur in the lowest layer of the planet's atmosphere, the troposphere, just below the stratosphere. 

Weather is the mix of events that happen each day in our atmosphere. Weather is different in different parts of the world and changes over minutes, hours, days and weeks. Most weather happens in the troposphere, the part of Earth's atmosphere that is closest to the ground.

Weather refers to day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity, whereas climate is the term for the averaging of atmospheric conditions over longer periods of time. CLIMATE: the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period.

Types of weather include sunny, cloudy, rainy, windy, and snowy.

Climate.

Climate is the average weather in a given area over a longer period of time. A description of a climate includes information on, e.g. the average temperature in different seasons, rainfall, and sunshine. Also a description of the (chance of) extremes is often included.

Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area. Weather can change from hour-to-hour, day-to-day, month-to-month or even year-to-year. A region's weather patterns, usually tracked for at least 30 years, are considered its climate.

Climate is the average of that weather. For example, you can expect snow in the Northeast in January or for it to be hot and humid in the Southeast in July. This is climate. The climate record also includes extreme values such as record high temperatures or record amounts of rainfall.

Let's conclude today's session,
Whereas weather refers to short-term changes in the atmosphere, climate describes what the weather is like over a long period of time in a specific area. Different regions can have different climates.

Thanks for attending the class,
Come with your feedback and questions.
