Question
The average weather pattern over a long period of time, say 25 years, is known as___________.
- Weather
- Climate
- Adaptation
- Cycle
Hint:
Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a particular location over the short-term. Climate, on the other hand, changes more slowly.
The correct answer is: Climate
Climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time. When we talk about climate change, we talk about changes in long-term averages of daily weather
