Climate can be described as changes in several conditions including temperature, air pressure, humidity, and precipitation among others over a long period of time.

Explanation:

Climate is the average weather condition of a place over a long period of time usually thirty years. Weather is the condition of the atmosphere at a particular place over a short period of time.

The two most important factors that determine the climate of an area are average temperature and precipitation over time. Other useful elements for describing climate include amount of sunshine, average wind speeds and directions, humidity, atmospheric pressure, weather extremes, and geography of an area.

LOWER is an acronym for 5 factors that affect climate and these are:

Latitude, Ocean currents, Wind and air masses, Elevation and Relief.

Climates are most popularly classified using the Köppen classification into:

Alpine climate

Desert climate or arid climate

Humid continental climate

Humid subtropical climate

Ice cap climate

Oceanic climate

Polar climate

Semi-arid climate

Subarctic climate

Temperate climate

Tropical monsoon climate

Tropical rainforest climate

Tropical savanna climate

Tundra climate

Climate changes gradually occur over a long period of time. However, climate changes are occurring rapidly now due to human activities. Human activities that are contributing to changes in climate include: burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas which produces carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide;cutting down of forests (deforestation); Increasing livestock farming.

The effects of climate change include rise in average global temperatures (global warming), rise in sea levels, melting of glaciers, extreme weather conditions such as droughts, frequent occurrence of below freezing temperatures, forest fires, etc.

The phlogiston theory in the 17th century attempted to explain burning. the theory stated that combustable objects contained a material called phlogiston, a substance without mass, color, odor, etc. after objects burned, the objects were dephlogistonated and were then in their true form. the phlogiston theory was accepted until the 18th century, when lavoisier proved that combustion requires a gas that has mass. phlogiston is considered a) to be scientific knowledge b) not to be scientific knowledge c) to be proven by scientific method d) to be accepted in the modern scientific community

The gene that causes sickle-cell disease is present in a higher percentage of residents of sub-saharan africa than among those of african descent living in the united states. even though this gene causes sickle-cell disease, it also provides some protection from malaria, a serious disease that is widespread in sub-saharan africa but absent in the united states. discuss an evolutionary process that could account for the different percentages of the sickle-cell gene among residents of the two regions.
