Climate is the weather in some location averaged over some long period of time.
Convection is the transfer of heat through a fluid (liquid or gas) caused by molecular motion.
Monsoons are any wind that changes direction with the seasons.
Succulent plants are water-retaining plants adapted to arid climate or soil conditions.
Prairies have moderate rainfall, and grasses, herbs, and shrubs, rather than trees, as the dominant vegetation type.
Arctic Tundra is a biome where the tree growth is hindered by low temperatures and short growing seasons.

  Weather is right now, whereas climate is overtime.
      Five factors that determine the temperature of the earth     are solar radiation, which can be prevented by changing the     incoming solar radiation, by changing the fraction of solar     radiation that is reflected, and by altering the long wave     radiation from Earth back towards space.
