Clima

“Clima” is a term derived from the Greek word “klima,” meaning “slope” or “zone,” which refers to the long-term patterns and average conditions of temperature, humidity, wind, precipitation, and other atmospheric phenomena in a specific area. It encompasses various climate zones, including tropical, arid, temperate, polar, and others, each characterized by distinct weather patterns and ecosystems. Clima can also refer to the study of these patterns, known as climatology, which examines how climate affects natural environments, human activities, and overall planetary health. Additionally, “clima” is often used in a broader context to discuss climate change, which addresses the shifts in these long-term atmospheric conditions, particularly due to human influences such as greenhouse gas emissions.
