Weather and Climate

Answer:

The answer for the given question is letter D.

D. average high and low monthly temperatures for 20 years

Explanation:

Letter D is the answer because we are talking about climate in this question.

Climate is the state of the atmosphere for a long period of time.

Although the elements in choices given (e.g. wind speeds, Relative Humidity, Total Annual Precipitation, high and low monthly temperatures) in this question all affects how a climate is defined meaning they are all correct but it is only taken in a short amount of time.

Determining the climate of a specific place requires a long time of study before a conclusion can be made. Although these are have already been established in the previous years.

Climate Zones:

The Earth is divided into Climate Zones according to temperature, these are as follows:

  • Cold Climate Zones:

This is where temperature ranges from -6 °C to - 33°C. These places are in the North and South Pole, Arctic and the Antarctic Circle.

  • Subtropical or Temperate Zones:

This is where temperature ranges from 24 °C to - 7°C. These places are in the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn in the North and South Hemisphere.

  • Tropical Zone or Hot Climate Zone:

This is where temperature ranges from 40 °C to -24°C. These places are the ones that are near the equator.

Green House Effect

Currently we are experiencing a drastic change in the climate of different parts of the world due to Greenhouse Effect

(https://brainly.ph/question/109164) and other causes.

As we can see in different documentaries:

  • Antartica has melted and reduced is size due to the melting of ice.
  • Penguins, Polar bears and other creatures living on Cold climate zones are decreasing in numbers because their natural habitats have been diminishing.
  • Sea Level is rising due to the melting of ice - all of this because of our own selfish doings.

In the boom of industrialization, a lot of heat is being trapped inside the Earth's Surface causing the rise of temperature. These are caused by using devices or materials that greatly contribute in trapping heat inside the Earth's Atmosphere. Greenhouse Gasses such as CO2, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, CFCs and other chemicals that are primarily produced by large industrial factories all across the globe should be regulated.

That is why it is important that everyone should be aware that every little thing we do contributes to the destruction of the Earth.
