Ali says the climate of a town is rainy because it is raining outside today. Is she correct? In one or two sentences, explain why Ali is or is not correct about the climate of the town.(2 points)
Ali is not correct about the climate of the town just because it is raining outside today. Climate refers to the average weather conditions in a place over a long period of time, not just a single day's weather.
In order to determine the trend shown on a graph of these temperatures, you should observe the values and see if there is a consistent pattern. In this case, we can see that the average temperatures decrease as the months progress.
Starting with August at 70°F, the temperature drops to 68°F in September, then to 64°F in October, 60°F in November, and finally reaches 54°F in December.
This consistent decrease in temperature indicates that the trend shown on the graph is that the temperatures are cooling during those five months.
