Earth's climate is changing in ways that affect our weather, oceans, snow, ice, ecosystems, and society.
Natural causes alone cannot explain all of these changes. Human activities are contributing to climate change, primarily by releasing billions of tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other heat-trapping gases, known as greenhouse gases, into the atmosphere every year.
Climate changes will continue into the future. The more greehouse gases we emit, the larger future climate changes will be.
That is what meteorologists use to show us what is going on with the weather and what weather to expect. The map and symbols that you see on the television are only a very small part of how they come up with a forecast. There are weather models and different weather data that they use to actually come up with the forecast and make the map you see on television.

Today, there are meteorological stations all over the world. Each one has instruments such as barometers, thermometers, anomometers, wind vanes, rain gauges, etc. Data from these instruments is fed into computers, and later to Internet databases. Geographers can gather this data to see climate patterns over time. They can also compare that data to maps to see how landforms effect weather patterns.
currents affect climate, as they can bring in warm or cold ocean waters and that affects how weather patterns are created offshore
Around your area. There will be (depending on the map) various markings that will tell you where any rain, lightning, etc. is heading.

The weather map was not developed until the telegraph was working. Back in the 1870's, the first weather map came to be. At that time, the government meteorologists worked for the US Army Signal Service. Later, this department became the Weather Bureau and now it is known as the National Weather Service.

We used the map legend to see what the climate is in different places.
On a weather map, a tornado is often symbolized by a rotating circle or triangle with a tail or hook shape, indicating the high winds and rotation associated with a tornado. Tornado symbols are usually colored in red to highlight the severe weather threat. Additionally, warning boxes or polygons may be used to outline the potential tornado path and affected areas.
The Earth has weather patterns that have eroded most of the craters on Earth. The moon has no weather, therefore no erosion.
