- Select the correct terms: (Climate / Weather) is the short-term atmospheric conditions in an area, while (climate / weather) is the average atmospheric conditions in a given area over a long period of time. (Climate change / Global warming) consists of the long-term and largescale changes in atmospheric conditions, which have been brought about by (climate change / global warming), an increase in the average global temperature.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is TRUE about the factors that shape regional climates? can choose more than one answer Group of answer choices Riverside has high variation in daily and seasonal temperatures because it exhibits a maritime climate.

- A biome is characterized by seasonal rainfall (about 20 to 100 mm) and temperature (about -10 to 35OC). Globally, the biome is found around 30ON latitude, has many tree species that lose their leaves in the winter, some shrubs and grasses, insects, many medium to small-sized mammals, birds, lizards, and some snakes. This best describes a: Group of answer choices A. chaparral (temperate scrubland). B. boreal forest. C. temperate grassland. D. tropical rainforest.

- Look at the following temperature and precipitation graph for a city around the world. Using this information, write down which biome each city has in it. Be careful to read the numbers along The numbers along the Y-axis carefully. For precipitation, you will need to look at figure 2.2, which has annual precipitation numbers in centimeters. Then compare them to the monthly precipitation numbers in the graph, which are in millimeters. It may be helpful to add up The graph numbers and convert that number to centimeters in order to determine the Biome. Average temperatures are also represented on figure 2.2. Answer choices A. Desert B. Tropical rain forest C. Temperate grassland D. Tundraarrow_forwardTerrestrial Biomes Which biome experiences both the lowest average temperatures and the lowest average precipitation?
