Final answer:
The true statements are that climate is the average of weather over a long period (A), both climate and weather involve atmospheric conditions (C), and weather is specific to a given time and place (D). Statement B about weather predictability is incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
Regarding the relationship between climate and weather, it is true that:
- A. Climate is the average weather conditions of a large region over a long period of time.
- C. Climate and weather both deal with atmospheric conditions such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, and cloud coverage.
- D. Weather deals with conditions of the atmosphere at a given time and a specific location.
It is not correct that B. Weather is predictable and forecasters are always correct because weather forecasts, especially long-range, can be unreliable. Climatology is the study of climate patterns over long time scales, unlike meteorology which focuses on short-term weather conditions.
