Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Weather refers to the short-term condition of the atmosphere in a specific location, including atmospheric pressure, temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind, and visibility. The other options do not accurately define weather. Climate refers to the long-term atmospheric conditions in a specific region over a longer period, typically 30 years or more, while extremes that may occur refer to rare events or natural disasters, which are not typical weather patterns. Reference to temperature patterns only is also not an accurate definition of weather, as it involves multiple atmospheric conditions.
