Question

in which of the following would climate, rather than weather, be the most important predictive tool?
a. deciding which crops to plant
b. when to leave town in advance of a hurricane
c. when to seek shelter from a tornado
d. when to take an umbrella with you to work

Explanation:

Climate refers to long - term weather patterns. Deciding which crops to plant depends on long - term climate conditions like temperature and precipitation patterns over seasons or years. The other options (hurricane evacuation, tornado shelter, and taking an umbrella) are based on short - term weather forecasts.

Answer:

A. deciding which crops to plant
