CLIMATE CHANGE REVIEW

Precipitation

Precipitation

________ is between 30cm and 85cm, much of it is falling snow.

ocean acidity

As sea levels rise, ________ also increase because carbon dioxide is being absorbed.

movement of currents

WInd: ________ at the ocean surface is driven by winds blowing over water.

Anthropogenic

(________) Human activities: burning of fossil fuels, partially contributing to climate change.

food space

Agriculture prodivd ________ for both animals and humans which got destroyed; asking for justice.

Eclipse

________: orbits more elliptical the planet gets more solar radiation, these differences affect the length and intensity of the seasons.

oceans

Since the ________ are like heat reservoirs, buffer temperature changes in the atmosphere.

Florida

________ is more vulnerable to climate change because it is surrounded by rising seawater, as the world heats up causing the risk of flooding.

Description

________: ecozone is an area of the earth which is developed over a long period of time and is separated from other eagle zones by a geological feature such as an ocean desert or mountain.

Snow

________ & ice reflect heat from the Sun back into the atmosphere.

Montreal Protocol

________ On substance that deplete the ozone layer (1989) was designed to reduce the production of consumption of ozone depleting substances in order to reduce their abundance in the atmosphere, and thereby protec the earths fragile ozone layer.

Physical characteristics

________: Snowflakes, hail, glaciers, pack ice indicates conditions of temperature and humidity (tell temp was)

Vegetation

________- based climate classification system developed by German botanist- climatologist Wladimir Koppen.

Protocol L

Monteral ________ 1989: Ozone layer to reduce production of consumption.

Annual precipitation

________: +1, 500 mm There are may be no dry season or a short dry season.

Volcanic eruptions

Pros: ________ spew ash and other particles into the atmosphere (aerosols) reflects solar radiation (net cooling of Earth), find gold, sliver, diamonds near, fertilize soil, geothermal energy.

air energy

Moving ________ is transferred to the surface of the water which causes the water to move.

Brzil

________: many companies can to 3rd world countries, Valerate project is offset project in whicdh use pig renewable energy to create efficient and the renewable energy is coming from their eucalyptus plantation (make steel to export to other countries)

Plates Movement

________ results in the formation of new continental land masses, oceans, and mountain ranges (changes latitudes on Earth)

Clean Development Mechnisum

________: extract paper and other stuff in calmi rights of retlme ts.

Plants

________ have sprint leaves to conserve water and grow deep plants.

cold winters

E- Polar climate: Cool summers and extremely ________.

cylinder of ice

A(n) ________ drilled out of an ice sheet or glacier.

Precipitation

________ is low during most of the year and is exceeded by potential evaporation and transpiration.

Oceans

________ hold more heat than the atmosphere, the top 2.3 meters of the ocean holds the same heat as entire atmosphere.

Precipitation

________: blue bars, mm (left side typically a larger number)
