Answer to Question 1

Weather is the instantaneous state of the atmosphere at a given time and place. Climate is the statistical summary of the weather to be expected in a given place, and includes information such as long term averages and the range of extremes experienced. One of the key differences is time. Weather is focused on the present and immediate future; meteorologists are interested in current observations and short-term forecasting. Climate studies require a long period of observations to allow for generalizations to be made about typical weather in a certain place. Climatologists are often focused on long term trends and shifts in weather patterns rather than specific weather events currently in progress.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
