Climate and Its Clauses
Climate refers to the long-term patterns of temperature, humidity, wind, and precipitation in a region. It is influenced by various factors, including latitude, elevation, proximity to oceans, and topography. These factors interact to create distinct climate zones, such as tropical, temperate, and polar climates. Understanding climate is crucial for predicting weather patterns, assessing environmental impacts, and developing strategies to mitigate climate change. By studying the clauses of climate, scientists can gain insights into the complex interactions that drive Earth's climate system, leading to more informed decision-making for sustainable development.
