Climate

Climate refers to the long-term patterns and averages of weather conditions in a specific area over extended periods, typically 30 years or more. It encompasses elements such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind patterns, and atmospheric pressure. Climate is distinct from weather, which represents short-term atmospheric conditions. Different regions of the world experience various climates, classified into categories such as tropical, arid, temperate, polar, and more, based on their typical weather patterns. Climate influences ecosystems, biodiversity, agriculture, and human activities, and it plays a crucial role in shaping environmental and economic systems. Changes in climate, often referred to as climate change, can result from natural processes and human activities that contribute to shifts in these long-term weather patterns.
