Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Climatology is the study of climate, including atmospheric patterns, weather systems, and their effects on human activities and ecosystems. It examines long-term atmospheric conditions. Botany studies plants, Micorbiology (misspelled) studies microorganisms, and Engineering applies scientific principles to design.

Multiple choice
  1. Botany

  2. Climatology

  3. Micorbiology

  4. Hydrology

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Hydrology is the study of water's movement, distribution, and quality on Earth, including the water cycle (evaporation, condensation, precipitation, collection). It examines water in various environments. Botany studies plants, Climatology studies climate, and Micorbiology (misspelled) studies microorganisms.
