How do climate patterns influence weather prediction?

• By providing long-term trends and patterns that can help forecasters make more accurate predictions.

• By creating extreme weather events that cannot be accurately predicted

• By influencing the rotation of the Earth and the position of the sun

• By causing random fluctuations that make predictions impossible

What are the limitations of long-term weather prediction?

• Complexity of the Earth's atmosphere and inability to accurately model all variables

• Limited understanding of atmospheric processes

• Inability to collect accurate data

• Lack of advanced technology

Explain the impact of air pressure on weather prediction.

• Air pressure has no impact on weather prediction

• Air pressure only affects the temperature, not the weather

• Air pressure affects the movement of air masses, which in turn influences weather patterns.

• Weather prediction is solely based on cloud cover and humidity, not air pressure
