Which of the following best defines weather? events that happen over a long period of time a seasonal pattern of events in the hydrosphere the atmospheric conditions at a particular time a measure of kinetic energy in the atmosphere question 3(multiple choice worth 3 points) what do weather and climate have in common? both affect average ocean temperatures. both are averages measured over a long period of time. both apply to a certain region. both change from day to day. question 4(multiple choice worth 3 points) something used to represent a complex idea or process in science is a program microscope hypothesis model question 5(multiple choice worth 3 points) asap which of the following best defines climate? short-term atmospheric conditions of a region the weather pattern of an area over two weeks or less average weather conditions of a region over the long term a pattern of weather that never changes question 6 (essay worth 5 points) give one example of a question that science would not be able to test. then, explain how it could be changed into a testable question.

1. The atmospheric conditions at a particular time.

3. Both apply to a certain region.

4. model

5. Average weather conditions of a region over the long term.

Explanation:

1. The weather can be define as the atmospheric condition of a region for a particular period of time. It can be determined by the amount of sunshine, rainfall and wind the region receives.

3. The weather and climate conditions are both applicable in determining the atmospheric condition of a region. These are two informative aspects of the atmosphere which are measurable.

4. A model is the simulation of a natural processes which occur on earth. This is descriptive and demonstrative approach which can be used to study the cause of a natural event or phenomena and the factors associated with them.

5. A climate can be define as a constant weather condition of a region for a period of atleast 30 years. It can be measured on the basis of wind velocity, precipitation and temperature.

6. A testable scientific question is the one which can be answered using suitable experimental procedures. The data obtain can be used to answer the question.

1. What is better, ice cream or potato chips? - non-testable

2. Which has more nutritional value, ice cream or potato chips?- testable

The first question is non-testable because it cannot be answered scientifically, as it does not include the parameter on which the food items should be compared. The second question is testable because a particular parameter called as nutritional value is to be compared between the two food items.  

explanation:

for  example, forests have higher evapotranspiration than other ecosystems,  such  as grasslands, because of their deeper roots and greater leaf area. thus forests have a net moistening effect on the atmosphere and become a moisture source for downwind ecosystems.
