What is the difference between long-term earthquakes and short-term?

Long-term earthquakes refer to seismic activity that occurs over an extended period of time, potentially lasting for years or decades, while short-term earthquakes occur within a brief timeframe, often minutes or hours. Long-term earthquakes may involve slow-slip events or aftershocks, while short-term earthquakes are typically caused by sudden release of tectonic stress along fault lines.


Why are tornado warnings short?

Tornado warnings are short because tornadoes themselves usually do not last long, usually no more than a few minutes. (A tornado waring means that a tornado has either been detected or may be imminent.) Even when tornadoes do last a long time they usually don't stay in the same place for long. Because of this, the tornado threat from a thunderstorm in any given place will usually not last more than twenty minutes. If the threat persists then a warning may be renwed.


Is climate the condition of the atmosphere over a long period of time?

Yes, climate refers to the average weather patterns in a region over an extended period, typically 30 years or more. It includes factors like temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind patterns, and more.
