      The weather effects everyone and everything on our planet! The weather changes every single day in every single location around the world. Seventy-three percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, and that water is continually moving through what is commonly called “The Water Cycle”. This cycle is what fuels our weather. It affects what fruits and vegetables we can grow, and can have huge effect on our lives with extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, droughts, fires (forest fires), floods, heat waves, or cold snaps and winter storms. Weather patterns also control the oceans. During storms, we see bigger waves that carry away more sand from our beaches eroding the environment. It also determines where, how, and why people live where they do and a lot more! Overall it is very fascinating!
