How does the weather affect animals and plants?

The weather directly affects the lives of animals. Some animals with keen senses can often detect changes in the weather in time and prepare for life in advance. Before the rainstorm, due to the humidity in the air, the water absorbed by the soil increased greatly. Therefore, the ant nest built in the soil becomes wet. In order to avoid flooding, ants often move before heavy rain.

Second, the influence of weather on plants:

1, plant growth needs photosynthesis, so it needs proper illumination. If the clouds are too thick or there is fog, rain and snow, it will affect the lighting;

2. Photosynthesis and respiration of plants are related to temperature, and weather conditions directly affect temperature.

3. Water is the most important substance that constitutes plants. More than 60% of plants are water, and one of the main sources of water is rain and snow.

4. Among the atmospheric components, oxygen has the greatest influence on plant growth, and weather changes will affect the oxygen content in the air.

Plants need a lot of nutrients, mainly from soil. The weather will affect the growth of local animals and plants, and indirectly affect the nutrients in the soil.

Extended data:

Weather type:

1, fog, a large number of tiny water droplets or ice crystals float in the air near the ground, and the horizontal visibility drops below 1 km, which affects transportation.

2, light rain, the daily precipitation is less than10mm.

3. Thundershower, suddenly stopped and stopped, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

4. Hail, small hail nuclei repeatedly rise, condense, fall and melt with the violent vertical movement in cumulonimbus clouds, and grow into small ice cubes with transparent layers and fall, which has an impact on crops.

5. Freezing rain, raindrops freeze on the ground below 0℃ on the surface of the object, also called rain song (frozen by fog drops, called rime), which often drops wires, freezes the road surface, and affects communication, power supply and traffic.
