Heat Waves
Weather and Climatic Change
 
ClimateClimate 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.
As the Earth's climate changes certain patterns will develop as areas once temperate, mild or arctic will show signs of increasingly high temperatures. Thus wild fires will develop and many areas will become semi aired or aired. Draughts will develop as temperatures increase past the 100 degree mark. It will effect our health, safety and food supply causing whole populations  to either move or adapt.
