Weather is long term, climate is short term
Climate is long term, weather is short term
There is no difference

Correct Answer

A. Climate is long term, weather is short term

Explanation

The correct answer is that climate is long term, while weather is short term. Weather refers to the conditions of the atmosphere at a particular time and place, such as temperature, precipitation, and wind. It can change from day to day or even within hours. Climate, on the other hand, refers to the average weather conditions in a specific region over a long period of time, usually 30 years or more. It takes into account factors like temperature, rainfall patterns, and seasonal variations.

6.

what are the 3 types of precipation?

Correct Answer
cyclonic, convectional, relief

Explanation
The three types of precipitation are cyclonic, convectional, and relief. Cyclonic precipitation occurs when warm air rises and cools, forming clouds and eventually rain. Convectional precipitation happens when the sun heats the ground, causing the air above it to rise and form clouds that produce rain. Relief precipitation occurs when moist air is forced to rise over mountains, leading to the formation of clouds and precipitation on the windward side of the mountains.
