Earth climates {climate}| {clime} can be wet or dry.
dry
Deserts and steppes are 25% of Earth land area. Deserts and steppes have large yearly and daily temperature variation, have rain in summer if at high altitude, have rain in winter if at low altitude, and have high winds.
wet
Pacific Ocean surface currents typically make monsoons. With warm El Ni-o, west North America has wet weather.
wet: plants
Plants absorb rain in roots and evaporate water from leaves, allowing rain to form and fall in one place. If plants die, water goes into ground, and rain is less.
core and surface temperature
Heat flow from core has no effect on Earth surface temperature.
