Climate, Longitude, and Latitude Practice

What is the difference between climate and weather?

• Climate refers to long-term atmospheric conditions, while weather refers to short-term changes.

• Climate refers to short-term changes, while weather refers to long-term atmospheric conditions.

• Climate and weather are the same thing.

• None of the above.

How does climate determine the ocean's climate?

• Climate has no impact on the ocean's climate.

• Climate influences the temperature and precipitation patterns in the ocean.

• Climate only affects the atmosphere, not the ocean.

• Climate and the ocean's climate are unrelated.

What are the short-term changes in precipitation, humidity, wind speed, and cloud cover called?

• Climate

• Weather

• Atmosphere

• Ocean currents

What are the long-term patterns of atmospheric conditions called?

• Climate

• Weather

• Atmosphere

• Ocean currents

What factors influence climate?

• Incoming solar energy, Earth's rotation, global movement of air and ocean currents, gases in the atmosphere, Earth's surface features

• Weather patterns, ocean currents, greenhouse gases, Earth's rotation, Earth's surface features

• Climate change, weather patterns, ocean currents, Earth's rotation, Earth's surface features

• Incoming solar energy, Earth's rotation, greenhouse gases, Earth's surface features

What are the major factors that affect water circulation in ocean currents?

• Temperature, salinity, and depth

• Wind speed, cloud cover, and precipitation

• Latitude, longitude, and altitude

• Population density, economic development, and political stability
