Explanation:

1. Climate is defined as the average weather conditions in a region over a long - term (usually 30 years). Temperature is a measure of hotness or coldness. Weather is the short - term state of the atmosphere. Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air.
2. Latitude affects climate. Areas closer to the equator receive more direct sunlight, so they tend to have warmer climates. Latitude does have an effect on climate, and areas near the poles are colder, not hotter.
3. Humans primarily introduce excess phosphorus into ecosystems by using fertilizers in agriculture. Deforestation mainly affects soil, water cycles, and carbon dioxide levels. Burning fossil fuels mainly releases carbon dioxide and other pollutants. Reducing water usage does not introduce phosphorus.

Answer:

1. C. Climate
2. B. Areas closer to the equator tend to have warmer climates.
3. C. By using fertilizers in agriculture
