What would be the effect on climate in the temperature latitudes if Earth were to slow its rate of rotation from a 24-hour period of rotation to a 48-hour period of rotation?
A) Seasons would be longer and more distinct (colder winters and warmer summers).
B) There would be a smaller range between daytime high and nighttime low temperatures.
C) Large scale weather events such as tornadoes and hurricanes would no longer be a part of regional climates.
