An example of a place with a microclimate is?

An example of a place with a microclimate is?
C





When you hear %26quot;micro,%26quot; think really small.


A: a mountain range is huge. %26quot;Capped with ice%26quot; is a general term that only tells you a range of temps possible.


B: again, a park is large. The question is trying to trick you because it says it%26#039;s a forest in a desert. However, each of these are large climates.


D: again, trees are large.


C is correct. The temperature inside the orchid will probably vary from the temp of the rain forest. Climate includes more than just temp, however: also humidity, winds, etc.
