Climate Change (Global Warming):
is a process by which the
Earths' atmosphere is changing over a period of
time. Some of the causes are; to the build up of
green house gases, the Earths orbit, variations in
solar activity, plate tectonics, volcanoes,
deforestation and lastly human activity.
Climate is
the
prevailing weather conditions (winds, temperature,
air pressure, humidity, rain, sunshine, and
cloudiness) of a region or the earth over a long
period of time i.e. decades, centuries and longer
periods of time. Weather on the
other hand is the condition of a region or Earth
over a short period of time such as days or weeks. |
Earth's orbit can effect our climate since it's path
around the sun is elliptical. The further it moves
from the sun the colder it gets. The closer it moves
towards the sun the warmer it gets. Climate Change (Global Warming):
