WHAT IS CLIMATE? Have you ever wondered why one area of the world is a desert‚ another a grassland‚ and another a rainforest? Why are there different forests and deserts‚ and why are there different types of life in each area? It is because of Climate. Climate is the characteristic condition of the atmosphere near the earth’s surface at a certain place on earth. It is the long-term weather of that area (for at least 30 years). This includes the region’s general pattern of weather conditions

How does the ocean effect the climate on land? The oceans play a huge role in the climate zones we see on land. Even the area that are nowhere close the the oceans are still effected by the ocean. The oceans act as a heater to the world because of them absorbing insolation rays from the sun. The is a result of land temperature altering faster than the oceans does. However‚ the land still absorbs some insolation but cannot maintain the same heat for as long as the ocean. Especially the tropical

FA1302 8 December 2013 Did Climate Affect Human Evolution? Climate and environmental change has played a vital role in Earth’s history‚ and the outcome of these changes has been anything but idle in the evolution of primates. These drastic transformations in the planet’s atmosphere have been the impetus of evolution among species and has sparked interest to geologist and paleoanthropologist for years‚ resulting in a number of hypothesis that “propose that climate-driven environmental changes

India Climate: India’s climate is strongly influenced by the Himalayas and the Thar Desert. The Himalayas‚ along with the Hindu Kush mountains in Pakistan‚ prevent cold Central Asian katabatic winds from blowing in‚ keeping the bulk of the Indian subcontinent warmer than most locations at similar latitudes. Concurrently‚ the Thar Desert plays a role in attracting moisture-laden southwest summer monsoon winds that‚ between June and October‚ provide the MOST of India’s rainfall. At the moment‚ India’s

Group Climate Group climate consists of the overall sentiment that is displayed within a group. This includes the aspects of honesty‚ openness‚ consistency and respect according to "Teamwork" by Lefasto and Larson. When evaluating the characteristics of group climate in a team‚ the most prevalent component to examine is trust. Trust yields respect‚ acknowledgement‚ cohesiveness‚ a bridge between cultural differences and above all else‚ sensitivity to ideas being expressed so a consensus can

Even though climate change is partially caused by the natural cycles of Earth‚ humans are still a major part of it. Greenhouse gases‚ such as carbon dioxide‚ absorb and emit heat in the atmosphere‚ keeping Earth warm enough to support life. However‚ human activities‚ such as burning fossil fuels‚ are adding large amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Earth must get rid of energy at the same rate it receives energy. More greenhouse gases mean that more heat is being held in the atmosphere

seen since the mid-1800’s are outside the bounds of natural variability inherent in the earth’s climate system. Thus‚ any impartial jury should not come back with a “guilty” verdict convicting humanity of forcing recent climatological changes. Even the most ardent supporters of global warming will not argue this point. Instead‚ they argue that humans are only partially responsible for the observed climate change. If one takes a hard look at the science involved‚ their assertions appear to be groundless

What’s your opinion on climate change? Faisal Mohammad May 30‚ 2012 Science Class Mr. Greenley Lots of people don’t realize what’s happing around the world. It is being brought up on computer sites‚ televisions‚ and magazines. We don’t take the time to read about it‚ and find out what is really happing to our Earth. I strongly believe that climate change is happing to us and we could reduce it. We have been killing the Earth since the 1800s by polluting it.My three reasons why I strongly believe

case the you is the Planet! Sure CO2 etc are naturally occurring and I am sure had industrialized man never been here‚ the climate will still have changed for a variety of reasons‚ but not now and possibly slower - but the ever increasing ’rate’ that man‚ is pumping crap into our atmosphere is the unnatural thing! Hence why I think we cannot be doing zero harm! Yes‚ global climate change is definitely man-made. The most prominent reason is that most of the energy we depend on is
