Spring Final Review

What is the difference between weather and climate?

• A) Climate looks at some characteristics for a short period of time. Weather considers the same characteristics over a much longer period of time.

• B) Weather looks at some characteristics for a short period of time. Climate considers the same characteristics over a much longer period of time.

• C) Weather considers some characteristics that climate does not. Examples of these are wind speed and humidity.

• D) Climate considers some characteristics that weather does not. Examples of these are wind speed and humidity.
