  • it’s kinda funny/sad how people completely avoid these questions that are obviously hw/tests

  • think about the time frame. climate is the average of a region on like a year scale. For example deserts are dry and hot. but the weather is short term thing that varies. it was 102 today, it was 95 yesterday, a tornado hit today, the air pressure dropped etc.

    i’ll do a few to help you.

    it has not snowed yet today- weather
    in october, temps begin to drop- climate (happens every year, describing a trend)
    this summer should be hotter than normal- climate (describing the long term trend)
    the humidity dropped overnight- weather (it could go back up tomorrow. short term)

  • climate : it is the change of atmosphere moisture.

  • Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases .So it contributes to the greenhouse effect .Without this greenhouse effect ,it has been estimated that the average surface temperature of the earth will be -18(minus 18) degree celsius instead of the present value of 15 degree Celsius .Thus it helps in keeping the surface of the earth sufficiently warmer for us to live .But , if the amount of the gas increases from the present level,it is feared that it will lead to global warming .
    Further, plants and trees use CO2 during photosynthesis which helps them to produce the food for them and thus they grow .If CO2 is not there,the forest area will come down decreasing the average annual rainfall of the earth .
