Answer:
Explanation:
Climate is the long-term average of weather, typically averaged over a period of 30 years.[1][2] More rigorously, it denotes the mean and variability of meteorological variables over a time spanning from months to millions of years.[1] Some of the meteorological variables that are commonly measured are temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, and precipitation. In a broader sense, climate is the state of the components of the climate system, which includes the ocean and ice on Earth.[1] The climate of a location is affected by its latitude, terrain, and altitude, as well as nearby water bodies and their currents.
Climates can be classified according to the average and the typical ranges of different variables, most commonly temperature and precipitation. The most commonly used classification scheme was the Köppen climate classification. The Thornthwaite system,[3] in use since 1948, incorporates evapotranspiration along with temperature and precipitation information and is used in studying biological diversity and how climate change affects it. The Bergeron and Spatial Synoptic Classification systems focus on the origin of air masses that define the climate of a region.

Climate is the average of that weather. For example, you can expect snow in the Northeast in January or for it to be hot and humid in the Southeast in July. This is climate. The climate record also includes extreme values such as record high temperatures or record amounts of rainfall.
There are approximately five main climate types on Earth:
- Tropical.
- Dry.
- Temperate.
- Continental.
- Polar.
Climate affects nearly every aspect of our lives, from our food sources to our transport infrastructure, from what clothes we wear, to where we go on holiday. It has a huge effect on our livelihoods, our health, and our future. Climate is the long-term pattern of weather conditions in any particular place.
- Fact 1: Most of the increase in global temperatures since 1950 has been caused by human activity.
- Fact 2: The average temperature of the Earth is determined by the greenhouse effect.
- Fact 3: Global temperatures have increased by about 1° Celsius in the past century.
