1. how does an area’s weather differ from the area’s climate?
a. weather involves temperature and precipitation and climate involves only temperature.
b. an area’s weather depends on where it is located on earth and the area’s climate does not.
c. an area’s weather does not change very much and an area’s climate changes many times.
d. weather is the area’s day-to-day conditions and climate is the area’s average conditions< --my answer
2. all of the following factors contribute to earth’s climate except:
a. latitude
b. longitude.
c. transport of heat by winds.
d. shape and elevation of landmasses.
3. earth has three main climate zones because of the differences in latitude and
a. amount of precipitation received.
b. distribution of sunlight.
c. ocean currents.
d. prevailing winds.
4. the greenhouse gas, methane, is released by cattle as a product of their metabolism. what effect would an increase in cattle ranching be expected to have on climate?
a. increased dry periods
b. increased temperatures
c. increased precipitation
d. increased cloud cover
5. many governments impose taxes on the amount of carbon dioxide released by industries. what effect would this have on climate?
a. it would pressure industries to increase carbon dioxide emissions, which would increase global warming.
b. it would pressure industries to increase carbon dioxide emissions, which would decrease global warming.
c. it would pressure industries to decrease carbon dioxide emissions, which would increase global warming.
d. it would pressure industries to decrease carbon dioxide emissions, which would decrease global warming.

1. The correct answer is D.

2. The answer is B

3. The answer is B.

4. The correct answer is B.  

5. The correct answer is C.  

Further Explanation:

1. The weather is the areas day-to-day conditions and climate.

2. All of the following factors contribute to earth's climate EXCEPT longitude.

3. Distribution of sunlight. Earth has three types of climate zones because of difference in latitudes and distribution of sunlight.

4. The greenhouse gas, methane, is released by cattle as a product of their metabolism. Increased temperatures would an increase in cattle ranching be expected to have on climate.

5.  It would pressure industries to decrease carbon dioxide emissions which would decrease global warming.

Weather:

Climate is the condition of the air, depicting for instance how much it is hot or chilly, wet or dry, quiet or stormy, clear or shady. Most climate marvels happen in the least degree of the air, the troposphere, just beneath the stratosphere.  

Earth's climate:  

Earth's worldwide climate is a normal of provincial climate. The worldwide climate has cooled and warmed since the beginning. Today, we are seeing curiously fast warming. The logical agreement is that ozone depleting substances, which are expanding a result of human exercises, are catching warmth in the environment.

c.) polymerase chain reaction

- "unlike the original dna fingerprinting method, dna profiling does not use restriction enzymes to cut the dna. instead it uses the polymerase chain reaction (pcr)? to produce many copies of specific str sequences. pcr is an automated procedure that generates lots of copies of a specific sequence of dna."

in 1859, charles darwin set out his theory of evolution by natural selection as an explanation for adaptation and speciation. he defined natural selection as the "principle by which each slight variation [of a trait], if useful, is preserved".
