question 11
a teleconnection can best be described as:
a the shift in earths axial tilt from 24.5° to 22.5° over 41,000 years
b the linkage between climatological anomalies at different locations around the globe
c a local phenomenon similar to the ozone hole over antarctica in winter
d the transparency of earths atmosphere to certain wavelengths of longwave radiation

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Teleconnection is a term used in climatology. It refers to a connection or linkage between climate - related anomalies (such as temperature, precipitation etc.) at different locations around the globe.
Option A is about Earth's axial tilt change which is related to Milankovitch cycles and not teleconnection.
Option C is a local phenomenon (ozone hole) and teleconnection is a global - scale concept.
Option D is about the greenhouse effect (atmospheric transparency to long - wave radiation) and not teleconnection.

Answer:

B. The linkage between climatological anomalies at different locations around the globe
