Try these first

1. 1.

   Define climate.

   Hint

   Think about long-term weather patterns.

2. 2.

   What is the difference between weather and climate?

   Hint

   Consider how each relates to time.

3. 3.

   What is the main difference between climate and weather?

   • Climate is short-term

   Think about what you check for your daily plans.

4. 4.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Remember how climate change affects ecological patterns.

5. 5.

   Evaluate the impact of a 2-degree Celsius increase in global temperatures on human subpopulations that rely on seasonal cues for agriculture.

   Hint

   Consider how much agricultural cycles rely on predictable weather.

6. 6.

   Propose an adaptation strategy for urban planning in areas experiencing decreased seasonal variance due to climate change.

   Hint
