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 in the distribution of weather around the average conditions (i.e.‚ more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change is caused by factors such as biotic processes‚ variations insolar radiation received by Earth‚ plate tectonics‚ and volcanic eruptions. Certain human activities have also

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

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

8-13-13 7- Acuity Climate Change What is climate change? Climate includes patterns of temperature‚ precipitation‚ humidity‚ wind and seasons. "Climate change" affects more than just a change in the weather‚ it refers to seasonal changes over a long period of time. These climate patterns play a fundamental role in shaping natural ecosystems‚ and the human economies and cultures that depend on them. Because so many systems are tied to climate‚ a change in climate can affect many related aspects

Climate change has taken significant changes throughout the years on Earth. These changes have affected the in more than one way. A Simple way to describe Global warming would be to say that it refers to an average increase in the Earth’s temperature and this increase may cause changes in climate. As the Earth warms up it may lead to significant rise in sea levels‚ chaotic weather patterns‚ and catastrophic droughts. The issues of climate change around the world are caused by human activities.

CLIMATE CHANGE What does the climate mean? Climate‚ like weather‚ describes the state of the atmosphere in terms of factors such as temperature‚ rainfall‚ and wind patterns. Whereas the weather describes conditions as measured in hours‚ days or weeks‚ the climate is average weather conditions measured over the longer term: months‚ years or decades. What is climate change? Any process that causes adjustments to a climate system – from a volcanic eruption to a cyclical change in solar
