If the temperature in an area drops five degrees between one day and the next, has the climate of the area changed? Explain.
guapka [62]

Temperatures, for example, can reach 30 degrees during the day and fall to 10 degrees in the night. However, climate is the study of weather over a long period of time such as over 30 years.
