Explain why floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes are aspects of weather, not climate.

Floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes are all aspects of weather and not climate because climate is more related to temperature. The definition of climate is "the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period." Floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes are not aspects of climate, they are aspects of weather.

Explanation:

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
