  1. Climates in France

  2. The 5 different climates are the following: The oceanic climate: mild and humid The modified oceanic climate :The oceanic climate is modified by continental influences The continental climate: hot in summer, cold in winter Mediterranean climate : high temperatures in the summer,warm winters with lots of rain ( flood-risk) The mountain climate : long and cold winters

  3. The 5 different climates • Oceanic climate • Modified oceanic climate • Continental climate • Mediterranean climate • Mountain climate

  4. The modified oceanic climate Our regionissituatedhere on the map.We have got an oceanicclimate This meansthat the climateiswarmer in the summer and colder in the wintercompared to an oceanicclimate.

  5. Changes in the world temperature Climate changes have always existed on our planet.Look at the temperature line on this diagram.The past is on the right,the present is on the left. These changes have taken place over a long period of time.The scale of this diagram is in millions of years.

  6. The climate changes of past

  7. Climate changes in the past. This diagram shows the temperatures in France from 1950 to nowadays.You can see that the temperatures have increased a lot in such a short lapse of time.

  9. The evolution of temperatures in France. Climate changes in France have always existed because of the Milankovitch cycles and volcanic eruptions, but today's changes are more brutal due to the greenhouse gases emitted by man

  10. The climatic changes in the past A hundred million yearsago, the quantity of CO2 was 3 to 5 times higherthan in 1750 (before the industrailrevolution) and the temperatureswere 10°C higher. 67 Million yearsagotherewas a brutal drop in temperatures, probablycaused by dust in the atmosphere (volcanicactivity or fall of meteorites) thatdarkened the sky. 18,000 yearsago,the last iceage.Temperatures on Earthwereapproximately 4°C lowerthanthosetoday.

  11. The main origin of the global warming Between 1920 and 1941, the Serbian astronomer Milutin Milankovitch demonstrated that the average temperature of the Earth varies according to a cycle. This cycle of glaciation finds its origin for the periods of 100 000 years, of 40 000 years and of 20 000 characteristic years respectively variations of the eccentricity of the ground orbit, the slope of the axis of rotation of the Earth ( the nutation) and its pretransfer (or rotation of this axis). http://menaceclimatique.free.fr/anim_milankovitch.php

  12. Wecanseethat the average world temperatures have risen by 0.6 ° C (degreescelsius) during the 20th century, where as, in France,they have risen by 0.9°C. Before the end of the century the temperaturesmayrisebetween 1.4°C and 5.8°C. In France thisincreasewillundoubtedlybeevenhigher.

  13. The futur climate

  14. Future climate During the 21st century scientists expect an average land temperature increase of 1.4°C to 5.8°C and an average increase in sea level of 9 to 88cm.
