 * 1.****What´s the definition of Climate?**
 * GROUP || ANSWER ||
 * 1 || ====The climate is the collection of weather conditions that characterizes a place over long periods of time==== ||


 * 2 || The general weather conditions prevailing in an area over a long period. ||
 * 3 ||  ||
 * 4 || ** The climate are the stadisticals values on the elements of the weather in a village during a certain time and it is a bit difficult to predict. ** ||
 * 5 ||  ||
 * 6 || The climate is a set of situations that determine the weather conditions in a certain area and during a period of pre-established time ||
 * 7 || Climate is the set of meteorological elements for a given region. Ie the average over many years, of temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, rainfall, etc. ||
 * 8 ||  ||

**2. What´s the difference between climate and weather?**

 * GROUP || ANSWER ||
 * 1 || ====Climate includes the statistics of temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, rainfall, atmospheric particle count and other meteorogical elements and weather is the state of the atmosphere, weather it is hot or cold, wet or dry, clear or cloudy …==== ||

Weather instead refers to the conditions of temperature, humidity, pressure, etc. prevailing at any given time. ||
 * 2 || The difference between weather and climate is a matter of time. Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time. ||
 * 3 ||  ||
 * 4 || ** The difference between weather and climate is that the weather is during a short time in any part of the world, and the climate is on a certain time and it is according to the place. ** ||
 * 5 ||  ||
 * 6 || Climate is an average atmospheric conditions along a given time. Instead, weather is the set of recent conditions in a given time. ||

In turn, within each of these major groups there are included several subtypes of climates.
 * 7 || Temperate climates are those of the middle latitudes and extend between parallel 30 degrees and 70 degrees. Its influenced by the seasonal contrasts in temperature and rainfall, and atmospheric dynamics influenced by westerly winds. Average annual temperatures range between 15 º C and rainfall ranges from 300 to over 1000 mm annually.
 * Humid subtropical climate (southeastern United States and Australia, southeastern China, northeastern Argentina, southern Brazil and Uruguay, northern India and Pakistan, Japan and South Korea).
 * Mediterranean climate (Mediterranean area, California, central Chile, southern Africa, southwest Australia)

**5. Tenerife Climate.**

 * GROUP || ANSWER ||
 * 1 || ====The definition of microclimate(local climate with different characteristics from the other climates that are around it) and the types of weather( the system of the “Alisios”, the invasions of hot Saharan air usually called Southern weather and Northen, Northwestern, Southwestern and Southern weather).==== ||

The warmest climate can be found on the south and west sides of the island. But, if you go near El Teide, cold winds and snow wouldn't be hard to find. Tenerife features the lowest temperature 'difference' between summer and winter anywhere in the world. Our weather occasionally includes rain, but there is no specific 'rainy season'. Air conditioning is quite rare, with overhead fans usually providing sufficient air movement to stay cool, even at the height of summer. The minimum and maximum annual average air temperatures in Tenerife are about 15C in winter and 24C in summer. Therefore we enjoy wonderful weather in one of the world's best and most delightful climates. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Island offers a surprising variety of micro-climatic weather zones, enabling people to almost 'choose' their climate, depending on where they live. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Trade winds, together with the refreshing Gulf air currents, are the major weather factors that contribute to Tenerife climate. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">The great altitude of Mountain Teide gets up to three months of snow - yet it is still possible to enjoy a swim on the beach within an hour's ride. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">The coastal areas enjoy the most sunshine, the best weather, the least clouds and highest temperatures. || In Tenerife there is a huge variety of landscapes. This will also involve a multitude of microclimates, which are one of the surprising aspects and attractions of the island. The greatest contrast occurs during any of the winter months, where you can enjoy the sun and the beach at any point on the coast of Tenerife, while watching at the top, a few miles in a straight line, the snowed peak of Teide. Every year it snows in Las Cañadas and the surrounding area - about two thousand metres above sea level - in considerable quantity. There are many other climatic contrasts. Santa Cruz de Tenerife is a city that enjoys a generally warm weather throughout the year. In winter, when travelling from the capital to the center of La Laguna - the university town of the island – you should take some warm clothes, because in just a dozen miles the temperature can drop considerably, and even find rainy weather. North and South of the island have also different climatic characteristics. There are more hours of sunshine a year in the South and more humidity and rainfall in the north - hence the differences in landscape - but both climates are perfect and complement each other. In fact, European physicians of the nineteenth century - mainly Dutch and English recommended to their clients the North Tenerife as an ideal place for natural healing of some diseases related to the infirmities of age and circulatory system.

 * 7 || In general, the climate of the island is very mild, temperate and moderate in all seasons. There are no seasons of intense cold or sweltering heat. Average temperatures range between 17 and 18 degrees in winter and between 28 and 30 in summer. These are relative values and very general, mainly related to coastal areas where the towns and resorts are located.

**6. Innsbruck Climate.**
__ //Group 2//: __ The moderate climate of Innsbruck features very distinctive seasons, which change quickly and noticeably. Winter weather in Innsbruck is cold, with freezing nights and heavy periods of snow. However, when the city hosted the Winter Olympics in 1964, there was actually a rather unfortunate lack of snow and the Austrian army ended up transporting ice and snow from the very top of mountains. As soon as spring arrives, the climate quickly changes, the days become longer and the sunshine is more plentiful. The summer weather in Innsbruck is hot by day and mild by night, although it soon begins to feel a little more chilly by the time that the fall colours adorn the trees.

__Group 7:__ <span style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Because it is in the middle of high mountains, Innsbruck is the ideal place for skiing in winter and hiking in summer. There are several ski resorts around Innsbruck on Nordkette. <span style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Other nearby sites are in the towns of Axamer Lizum, Igls, Seefeld, Tulfes and Stubai Valley. In the last one, you can ski even in summer, due to the freezing of the ground. Igls has a refrigerated artificial track luge and bobsleigh, which has hosted the Luge World Championships in 1977, 1987, 1997 and 2007. It was also the headquarters of the Bobsleigh World Championships in 1993. <span style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">The Winter Olympics were held in Innsbruck twice, in 1964 and 1976, the city replaced Denver, Colorado as the venue after Colorado voters rejected funding the games. <span style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Tivoli Neu Stadium co-hosted Euro 2008 football Cup. The Spanish team played their first two games in this city, and located their concentration hotel here throughout the tournament, which they won on 29 June 2008.
