May 2014 Global Climate Change: Causes and Effects The Earth goes through natural phases of warming and cooling‚ due to changes in the Sun and volcanic activity. During these changes‚ the temperature fluctuates a little bit. However‚ the drastic incline in the temperature of the earth over the past century cannot be explained by these natural causes alone. What could have had the power to cause this drastic change‚ and what effect will this have on our planet in the future? Humans have had a large

Tundra climate is probably the most biomes that are influenced by the climate. Four principal factors that affect Tundra climate are the solar radiation‚ the temperature‚ and precipitation as well as air pressure. Solar radiation is very weak in Arctic or Antarctic tundra which is why polar tundra are often covered in the snow compared to other tundra around the world. However‚ in summer‚ there is more solar radiation which gets the temperature to rise. Alpine tundra zone gets more solar radiation

movements of energy like wind and precipitation. Climate is the generally prevailing weather patterns of a region. The climate of a region is made up of the different weather patterns. The weather patterns are usually repetitive according to the seasons. Where I’m from in southwest Nebraska it snows in the winter‚ rains in the spring‚ and is hot in the summer. The question is‚ has the weather and climate always been like this in Nebraska? We have proof that climate has changed in the past. Seventy million
