Which factors are causes of short-term climate change?

Answer
A
an increase of hurricanes and volcanic eruptions
B
changes in wind and ocean currents
C
an increase of thunderstorms and rain
D
changes in daily wind shifts and snowfall

Explanation

Changes in wind patterns and ocean currents can redistribute heat around Earth and cause climate conditions to shift over a relatively short period. Hurricanes, thunderstorms, rain, daily wind shifts, and snowfall are weather events, not the broad factors described here. The correct choice is “changes in wind and ocean currents.”
