Natural Causes of Climate Change The earth’s climate is influenced and changed through natural causes like volcanic eruptions‚ ocean current‚ the earth’s orbital changes and solar variations. Volcanic Eruptions When a volcano erupts it throws out large volumes of sulphur dioxide (SO2)‚ water vapour‚ dust‚ and ash into the atmosphere. Large volumes of gases and ash can influence climatic patterns for years by increasing planetary reflectivity causing atmospheric cooling. Tiny particles called aerosols

and animals. Today the oceans are at risk because of human activities. The main problem is climate change which leads to other problems within such as ocean acidification and pollution; these effects can all have an ever lasting impact on what’s in the ocean and what’s out. Paragraph 1: Climate Change (ocean acidification‚ CO2 ‚etc.) One of the main dangers of the oceans today is climate change and from this comes a whole range of other issues which can further impact the Earth’s oceans

First of all‚ you should know that weather and climate are not the same thing. WEATHER IS: • Short term • Limited area • Can change rapidly • Difficult to predict WEATHER is what’s happening outside your window right now. CLIMATE is the average of many years of weather observation. CLIMATE IS: • Long term • Wide area • Seasonal changes • Measured over long spans of time Climate is affected by many factors ABIOTIC FACTORS: BIOTIC FACTORS: Latitude Transpiration Altitude Respiration Ocean

The average temperature of the earth’s surface is rising. According to the Natural Resources Canada: Overview of Climate Change in Canada‚ “the influence of anthropogenic climate change on Canada is evident in observed trends and temperatures simulated by global climate models” (Government of Canada)‚ which can have devastated impacts on humans (e.g. humans can die of heat stroke). The summer issue of Statistics Canada’s EnviroStats (2011) has a nation-wide survey on air conditioning. Surveys demonstrate
