If geography is all about studying where things happen and why they happen there, how is meteorology a part of geography? In a short paragraph, define meteorology. Explain how meteorology is about studying geography's key questions, "where?" and "why there?"

Answer:

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: (Students should begin by defining meteorology as the study of how the Earth’s atmospheric conditions change over time. Students may mention that meteorology is about studying climate and weather patterns. Geographers study “where?” in meteorology when they identify where climate changes are taking place. When geographers study “why there” in meteorology, they are studying why climate changes and weather patterns take place in certain parts of the world.)
