Then all at once, with terrible suddenness, the light about him shot upward with the noise of a loud splash; a frightful roaring

was in his ears, and all was cold and dark. The power of thought was restored; he knew that the rope had broken and he had fallen into the stream. There was no additional strangulation; the noose about his neck was already suffocating him and kept the water from his lungs. To die of hanging at the bottom of a river!—the idea seemed to him ludicrous. He opened his eyes in the darkness and saw above him a gleam of light, but how distant, how inaccessible! He was still sinking, for the light became fainter and fainter until it was a mere glimmer. Then it began to grow and brighten, and he knew that he was rising toward the surface—knew it with reluctance, for he was now very comfortable. “To be hanged and drowned,” he thought? “that is not so bad; but I do not wish to be shot. No; I will not be shot; that is not fair.” What does the motif of light represent in the excerpt and in the rest of the story?
English

Difference between climate and weather?
Alex

Answer:

• Climate is the pattern of weather that the region experiences over a long period. Weather changes from time to time or even moment to moment.

• Climate is the weather of a locality averaged over some period (usually 30 years). Weather varies on short term basis.

• Weather is a combination of wind, temperature, cloudiness, precipitation and visibility. The factors affecting climate are mountain ranges, attitudes, large water bodies.

• Weather is dynamic and always changing whereas climatic is constant for a long time may be years or decades.

• Humid is a type of climate whereas rain is a type of weather.

• For example, if it is cool on a particular day then, we are talking about weather but if it is cool over a season for several months then, we are talking about climate.

• Climate is what you expect according to averages of atmospheric conditions collected over several years at a place. Weather is what you get on a particular day.

• Weather is the exact temperature at a given amount. Climate is the overall temperature at a given area.

• Weather changes but climate is not changeable. Climate is recorded over a period whereas weather is the current condition.

In short, climate is the statistical average weather information in a region, whereas weather is the day-to- day state of the atmosphere at a specific place and time. Climate is a study of climatology and weather is a study of meteorology. Small changes in Earth’s orbital pattern around the Sun can have major effects on climate. Human activities also can affect the climate, especially the actions related to the depletion in the ozone layer is an important factor.
