1. Climate is like the average temperature of weather of an area or location over a long period of time. Some people think that weather and climate are the same thing, but really they aren't. weather is the events that happen in an area, and climate helps to explain the weather that we experience. For example if you were to look out the window and examine what it's like outside for one day you would know the weather, but if you were to look out the window for many weeks or months in a row and examine the weather then you would have the climate of the location.

2. Climate change is the seasonals changes that take place in an area over a long period of time. Ecosystems are essentially created by the climate changes that take place in an area. Also humen economies and cultures depend on the climate changes that take place in an area. Because so many things like the way that we live our lives is linked and related to climate, what we do depends on the climate change that takes place.
