  1. CLIMATE AND CLIMATE CHANGE REVIEW

  2. WHAT CAUSES WIND ON A LOCAL AND GLOBAL LEVEL?

  3. WHAT CAUSES WIND ON A LOCAL AND GLOBAL LEVEL? DIFFERENCES IN PRESSURE CAUSED BY UNEVEN HEATING OF THE EARTH’S SURFACE.

  4. WHAT CAUSES SEASONS?

  5. WHAT CAUSES SEASONS? TILT OF THE EARTH ON ITS AXIS

  6. DO SEASONS OCCUR ALONG THE EQUATOR?

  7. DO SEASONS OCCUR ALONG THE EQUATOR? ONLY WET AND DRY AS THE DOLDRUMS MIGRATE NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE EQUATOR

  8. WHY DO DESERTS OCCUR CLOSE TO 30o NORTH AND SOUTH LATTITUDE?

  9. WHY DO DESERTS OCCUR CLOSE TO 30o NORTH AND SOUTH LATTITUDE? DRY AIR RETURNS TO EARTH FROM THE CIRCULATION CELLS

  10. WHAT ARE TWO WAYS THAT HEAT CAN BE DISTRIBUTED FROM ONE REGION OF THE EARTH TO ANOTHER?

  11. WHAT ARE TWO WAYS THAT HEAT CAN BE DISTRIBUTED FROM ONE REGION OF THE EARTH TO ANOTHER? WIND CURRENTS AND WATER CURRENTS

  12. HOW CAN WATER AFFECT LOCAL CLIMATE?

  13. HOW CAN WATER AFFECT LOCAL CLIMATE? WATER COOLS SLOWER THAN LAND, AND IT HEATS UP SLOWER THAN LAND. SO, WATER WOULD MODERATE THE TEMPERATURE CHANGES.

  14. WHAT IS MEANT BY ALBEDO? GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING THAT COULD AFFECT EARTH’S ALBEDO?

  15. WHAT IS MEANT BY ALBEDO? GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING THAT COULD AFFECT EARTH’S ALBEDO? ALBEDO IS HOW REFLECTIVE A SURFACE IS – HOW MUCH SUNLIGHT A SURFACE REFLECTS BACK INTO SPACE ARCTIC ICE MELTING AND BEING REPLACED BY DARK OCEAN WATER

  16. HOW DOULD TOPOGRAPHY AFFECT CLIMATE?

  17. HOW DOULD TOPOGRAPHY AFFECT CLIMATE? MOUNTAINS COULD BLOCK WIND CURRENTS MOISTURE COULD BE LOST AS AIR CURRENTS RISE TO GET OVER MOUNTAINS, LEAVING THE LAND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN WITH LITTLE PRECIPITATION

  18. IS CLIMATE CHANGE REAL, AND WHAT DO WE BASE THIS ANSWER ON?

  19. IS CLIMATE CHANGE REAL, AND WHAT DO WE BASE THIS ANSWER ON? YES. IF YOU PLOT GMST VERSUS TIME, THE TEMPERATURE IS GOING UP. CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL.

  20. WHY DO WE ASSUME THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS RELATED TO CARBON DIOXIDE CONCENTRATION?

  21. WHY DO WE ASSUME THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS RELATED TO CARBON DIOXIDE CONCENTRATION? IF YOU PLOT TEMPERATURE VERSUS TIME AND CARBON DIOXIDE CONCENTRATION VERSUS TIME ON THE SAME GRAPH, THEY FOLLOW THE SAME TRENDS

  22. NAME 3 GREENHOUSE GASES.

  23. NAME 3 GREENHOUSE GASES. CARBON DIOXIDE METHANE NITROUS OXIDE WATER VAPOR OZONE

  24. WHAT IS MEANT BY THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT?

  25. WHAT IS MEANT BY THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT? WHEN GASES IN THE ATMOSPHERE TRAP THE INFRARED RADIATION ESCAPING FROM THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH AND WARM THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE AND SURFACE

  26. DID THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT EXIST BEFORE 1850? WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

  27. DID THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT EXIST BEFORE 1850? WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? WE’VE ALWAYS HAD THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT. IF WE DID NOT HAVE IT, THE GMST WOULD BE 55 deg F LOWER THAN IT IS NOW.

  28. WHAT IS THE IPCC, AND WHY ARE THEIR REPORTS IMPORTANT?

  29. WHAT IS THE IPCC, AND WHY ARE THEIR REPORTS IMPORTANT? INTERNATIONAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE – A UN SPONSORED PANEL THEY COLLECT CLIMATE DATA FROM AROUND THE WORLD AND PUBLISH THE MOST ACCEPTED REPORT ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND ITS IMPACTS

  30. GIVE 4 OBSERVED IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE.

  31. GIVE 4 OBSERVED IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE. DROUGHTS IN SOME AREAS HEAVIER PRECIPITATION EVENTS MORE EXTREME STORMS SEA LEVEL RISING GLACIERS MELTING ARCTIC OCEAN ICE COVER MELTING GREENLAND ICE CAP SHRINKING PERMAFROST MELTING

  32. TEMPERATURES HAVE INCREASED AND DECREASED IN GEOLOGICAL TIME. WHY ARE WE SO WORRIED ABOUT A TEMPERATURE INCREASE NOW?

  33. TEMPERATURES HAVE INCREASED AND DECREASED IN GEOLOGICAL TIME. WHY ARE WE SO WORRIED ABOUT A TEMPERATURE INCREASE NOW? TEMPERATURES ARE CHANGING FASTER THAN IN NORMAL GEOLOGIC TIME

  34. LIST 4 FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE CLIMATE.

  35. LIST 4 FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE CLIMATE. • LATITUDE • ELEVATION • TOPOGRAPHY • PROXIMITY TO WATER • OCEAN CURRENTS • PREVAILING WIND • EL NINO OR LA NINA • ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION • ALBEDO

  36. WHAT IS EL NINO?

  37. WHAT IS EL NINO? WHEN TRADE WINDS SLACK OFF, AND WARM WATER BACKS UP ALONG THE COAST OF PERU.

  38. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE IMPACTS OF EL NINO?

  39. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE IMPACTS OF EL NINO? FEWER HURRICANES WETTER WEATHER IN CALIFORNIA AND IN THE SOUTHERN US POOR FISHING ALONG THE COAST OF PERU DROUGHTS IN AUSTRALIA
