Medal & Fan Which of the following is true of weather but not of climate? (2 points) independent of regional precipitation patterns may change from hour to hour or from day to day determined by temperature patterns collected over many years calculated from data gathered by stations located all over the world

OpenStudy (nevillesnetwork):

Yes, I know this is not Math.

OpenStudy (brooke..help00):

I think D. What do you think?

OpenStudy (kaboom):

I would say the answer is D.

OpenStudy (nevillesnetwork):

Are you sure its not B. I think it may because "Weather is the day-to-day changes in atmospheric conditions, including temperature, precipitation, wind speed, wind direction, humidity, air pressure, and clouds. Climate refers to the weather conditions in an area averaged over a period of many years"

OpenStudy (nevillesnetwork):

@kaboom @brooke..help00

OpenStudy (redr0se03399):

i would say you are correct @NevillesNetwork

OpenStudy (brooke..help00):

Weather is the measure or assessment of the atmospheric conditions manifesting over a certain geographical location, at an exact moment in time. Climate is the measure or assessment of atmospheric conditions that manifest on a certain geographical location over an elongated period of time, often exhibiting repeatable patterns of change or stability on an annual or longer basis.

OpenStudy (nevillesnetwork):

That doesn't answer my question, or does it? @brooke..help00

OpenStudy (kaboom):

Actually, you are correct

OpenStudy (redr0se03399):

weather would change day to day or hour to hour, but climate is the over all weather of an area.

OpenStudy (kaboom):

Climate is the statistic of weather, which can take a very long time to change

OpenStudy (redr0se03399):

so yes, B would be the correct answer. :3

hope i helped.
