Autumn has come, what changes have taken place in nature?

There will be the following natural changes:

1, most plants will shed their leaves in autumn, which is an adaptation of plants to spend the cold season.

In autumn, the leaves of some plants change from green to yellow or red, which is related to the pigments contained in the leaves.

3. Is the air dry and windy? Small animals began to prepare for winter, and migrating animals began to migrate.

The direct sun moves to the south (for the northern hemisphere), so the days are getting shorter and shorter.

5. The climate is getting cold, the cold air is heading south, and the temperature is hot and cold frequently.

6. Autumn is also the harvest season. Orchards and fields have had a bumper harvest.

Overall characteristics:

In China, traditionally, the "beginning of autumn" with 24 solar terms is the starting point of autumn. Entering autumn means that rainfall and humidity tend to decrease or decrease. In nature, the qi of Yin and Yang began to change, the yang gradually declined, the yin gradually emerged, the climate changed from hot to cold, and everything was born with cold and gradually declined.

According to modern meteorology, the autumn in the north temperate zone is from August 23rd (summer) to165438+1October 22nd (light snow). Autumn in the south temperate zone is from February 19 (rain in the northern hemisphere) to May 2 1 (xiaoman in the northern hemisphere).

At present, the division of the four seasons in China is often based on the change of temperature, and the division of "climate average temperature" by modern scholar Zhang Baokun is adopted. According to the weather average temperature method, there are two main criteria for judging autumn: first, the daily average temperature for five consecutive days is 10℃-22℃, which can be regarded as autumn and become a "short mark"; Second, the moving average temperature of five consecutive groups is lower than 22℃. A set of moving average temperatures refers to the average temperature of the day plus the average temperature of the previous four days divided by 5 to get the moving average temperature of five days, which is a "sliding scale". Entering autumn means that the hot weather has passed and it is beginning to cool down.
