Temperature
This is the degree of hotness or coldness of the atmosphere at a particular time. It can be measured with a thermometer. The earth experiences warm weather during day- time and cold weather at night. This is because during the day, we experience the sun rays beaming down into the earth’s atmosphere which warms it up. During the night, the warm Earth radiates the heat
The effects of temperature on agriculture
High temperature, increases bush fires. When vegetation dries out it allows easy travel of bush fires and this destroying farm lands.
High temperature causes water bodies (rivers, fish ponds etc) to dry up making them inhabitable for marine life.
Temperature is also needed for photosynthesis
High temperature increases rate of water loss in both plants and animals.
It causes low food production because some crops cannot withstand this condition
