CLIMATE
Good morning, everyone. I am going to tell you about climate. Do you know what it is?
Well….climate is the typical weather of a place over a long period of time. Climates near the Equator are warm. You know…tropical climates are warm climates in the tropical zones on either side of the Equator. The average temperature of the tropical zones is 27C, just like our country. The climate is cool near the Poles. Temperate climates are mild climates in the temperate zones between the tropics and the Polar Regions. Summer temperatures may average 23C and winter temperatures may average 12C. A Mediterranean climate is a temperate climate with warm summers and mild winters.
Well, that’s all about climate.

DROUGHT
Hello, everyone. I’m going to tell you about Drought. Do you know what it is?
Well,….a drought is an extended period of months or years when a region notes a deficiency in its water supply. Generally, this occurs when a region receives consistently below average precipitation.
Drought can have a substantial impact on the ecosystem and agriculture of the certain region. Although it can persist for several years, even a short drought can also cause significant damage and harm the local economy. This global phenomenon has a widespread impact on agriculture. The United National estimates that an area of fertile soil in the size of Ukraine is lost every year because of drought, deforestation and climate instability. Lengthy periods of drought have triggered mass migration in Africa in this last decade and in various other parts of the words for thousands of years.
