Climate is best described as
a. the areas only where the temperatures drop below freezing.
b. the long-term average of weather variations in a specific area.
c. the short-term average of weather variations in a specific area.
d. the daily weather as predicted by a meteorologist
The correct answer is: b. the long-term average of weather variations in a specific area.
A climate is a long-term phenomenon, which means that one snow blizzard does not change the fact that a certain location generally has a very mild climate.
