Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Motion in the atmosphere is called wind. Climate is the long-term patterns of temperature, precipitation, and other weather observations of a region. Convection refers to the transfer of heat through fluids (liquid or gas) due to differences in density. Wave refers to any disturbance that travels through a medium (such as air or water) and carries energy. While wind can cause waves, it is not synonymous with wave motion.
