¿Sabes por qué hay animales que migran cada año? ¿Cómo saben los campesinos cuándo sembrar y cuándo cosechar?
¿Sabes qué gobierna el ciclo anual de frío y calor y de lluvias y secas?
Las estaciones del año son el fenómeno climático más perceptible por el ser humano y se manifiestan de diferente forma en distintas regiones; por ejemplo cuando es invierno en la mitad del mundo, es verano en la otra mitad. Entender el mecanismo de las estaciones es el primer paso para entender el clima, que afecta a casi todas las actividades humanas.

Entender el mecanismo de las estaciones es el primer paso para entender el clima, que afecta a casi todas las actividades humanas.
En este curso estudiaremos los procesos que provocan las estaciones del año, las repercusiones que tienen éstas para las actividades humanas y su relación con los fundamentos del sistema climático terrestre. A través de simulaciones visuales haremos comprensibles conceptos y procesos físicos y te propondremos experimentos. Si estas considerando estudiar ciencias de la Tierra o si quieres comprender mejor cómo funciona el clima, este curso es para ti.
¡Acompáñanos! Y conoce más sobre nuestro hogar el planeta Tierra.

Syllabus
Percepción de las estaciones
¿Recuerdas qué es el ecuador, paralelo y meridiano, latitud y longitud? Para que comprendas las estaciones del año, es preciso que primero recuerdes ciertos conceptos de la geografía de la Tierra.
En este módulo identificarás la importancia de la posición geográfica para explicar las diferencias locales de las estaciones del año y el clima.
Asimismo, verás cómo la cantidad de energía solar que llega a la superficie terrestre depende de la posición del Sol.
