Use of solar energy in the most versatile places on earth

Differentiate Climate and Meteorology

Based on what I have understood in the module, I can define climate as weather changes in a long time. On the other hand, meteorology can be defined as a study where it focuses on the Earth's atmosphere. It also studies or observes the patterns of weather and weather forecasting. 

Explain how clouds are formed in the Goechala Trek                                                                                        

Clouds form different shapes, sizes, textures, and we admire it every time. Clouds are a large pile of tiny drops of water. Clouds can be formed by the sun's help, the water that is present in the ground evaporates, and it changes from a liquid into gas, which they called water vapor. These droplets are lightweight and can float in the air. The water vapor rises from the surface and as it climbs away from the ground the temperature drops and this cause the water vapor to condense. The water vapor starts to merge with the microscopic dust that exists in the air. 

Eventually, this will form the clouds in different shapes.

Discuss the formation of ice crystals in the Kanchenjunga Range

Ice crystals can form in different ways at a certain temperature that is lower than 0°C. An ice nucleus is a particle in a bead of water that escalates the rate of the chemical reaction and enables it to freeze. Cold clouds have this supercooled droplet and they possibly carry ice particles that exist if the temperature reaches lower than 0°C. There are two types of ice crystals formation, specifically deposition and freezing. Deposition refers to the changes in water vapor form into solid. On the other hand, freezing is the transition where liquid becomes solid. 

Discuss the distribution of Solar Energy into the Earth

Solar energy comes from the sun. This energy travels into the Earth in the form of radiation. The distribution of solar energy into the Earth is not equal due to its curvature, rotation, and axis. Solar energy is the number one that is responsible for our weather systems and other energy sources. Not all of the energy gets inside the Earth because of our atmosphere and the ozone layer. Solar energy harnesses the energy of the sun and makes it usable. An example of this would be solar panels. These panels convert solar energy to electricity to power up houses or power plants.
