ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE 1. What is climate change? Climate change is a long-term shift in the climate of a s pecific location‚ region or planet. The shift is measured by changes in features associated with average weather‚ such as temperature‚ wind patterns and pr ecipitation. What most peo ple don’t know is that a change in the variability of climate is also considered climate change‚ even if average weather conditions remain the same. Climate change occurs when the climate of a

In Jacksonville Florida we experience five major types of severe weather storms. The five severe storms that are experienced are hurricanes‚ thunderstorms‚ flash floods‚ lightning‚ and tornadoes. If we were to build in arena in Jacksonville then the chances that one of those severe weather storms will hit that area are quit high. Hurricanes are also called typhoons in the western Pacific and cyclones in Australia and the Indian Ocean. Hurricanes form over tropical oceans; they need the warm air

There are four major factors when it comes to nature causing climate changes; volcanic eruptions‚ ocean currents‚ earth orbital changes‚ and solar variations. There are three major factors when it comes to humans causing climate changes; transportation‚ deforestation‚ and fossil fuels to generate energy. Volcanic eruptions can cause the climate to change. When a volcano erupts tiny particles called aerosols shoot into the atmosphere. These tiny particles reflect solar energy into space and cool

INTRODUCTION Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions or the distribution of events around that average (e.g.‚ more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change may be limited to a specific region or may occur across the whole Earth. The most general definition of climate change is a change in the statistical properties of
