intertropical convergence zone‚ which moves back and forth across the Equator. Sailors called this zone the doldrums because its winds are normally weak. Latitude and angles of the suns rays As the Earth circles the sun‚ the tilt of its axis causes changes in the angle of which sun’s rays contact the earth and hence changes the daylight hours at different latitudes. Polar regions experience the greatest variation‚ with long periods of limited or no sunlight in winter and up to 24 hours of daylight in the summer

“Current” Situation A case study of global warming effect on the climate of Western Europe. Massive amounts of water move in the ocean currents‚ transporting warmth‚ nutrients and animal life through thousands of miles. Some of the currents warm entire continents‚ bringing life to regions that would otherwise be locked in constant arctic cold. Others carry food for wildlife‚ contributing to rich and productive ecology. To understand the enormous power of these currents‚ consider that in

It is said that most places that are located on the same line of latitude usually have particularly similar and close climates to each other. China and Egypt both developed and grew around the same latitude thus giving them the same climate and the ability to grow similar to almost the same crops. The geographical features of the areas differed though. China was surrounded by mountains

Global climate change has positive and negative effects on marine and terrestrial ecosystems. The cause of global climate change is said to be because carbon dioxide is being emitted through the large scale burning of oil‚ coal and gas‚ with an additional contribution coming from clearing of tropical forests and woodlands which results in wildlife life destruction. The carbon dioxide traps heat from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere and prevents it from being sent back out into space. The heat that
