We started differentiate these three. Then when we have learnt all these acharya told us to identify the weather that day. After that acharya told us to write Chennai’s climate and tell advices like what cloth should we wear. Acharya told us to write the weeks weather on our own. We next learnt the impact of weather in our daily life after it we went to a Meteorological Department and saw the different weather instruments. Next we learnt the climatic zones. After that we learnt the Factors influencing the Climate. We learnt six factors which were Distance from the Sea, Direction of the Wind, Ocean Currents, Distance from the Equator, Altitude and the Location of the
Mountains. After that we did the features of the Equatorial zone. We learnt about the Arid Zone/The Deserts and we also studied about the Important Deserts in the World. Now we wrote the Features of the Tempurate and Polar Zones. At last we are learning about Global Warming.
