A geographer is preparing a reliable description of the climate of a region. Which type of data should be used?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Average temperature and rainfall over a continuous 30-year period
Climate describes long-term patterns rather than a short weather episode. Add the annual temperature or rainfall values for 30 years and divide by 30 to obtain a dependable average. A one-day or one-year record shows weather variability. Exam tip: long-term average indicates climate.
