(Print)
high pressure, sea ice most of the year
all the liquid water on Earth
used to determine climate of the past including CO2 levels
produced from landfills and cattle
all the frozen water on Earth
interior and exterior of Earth
no wind, happens in the equatorial climate zone
extends from the ground up and into space
How much the sea level could rise by 2100.
contains the ozone layer
When there is too much CO2 in the ocean.
when gases in the atmosphere trap heat energy from the sun
66-85% of greenhouse effect
evidence of climate change
all the living things on earth
the study of ancient climates
sources of CO2
indirect evidence
product of burning fossil fuels
Eccentricity, obliquity, and Precession
rising air and doldrums
Where the Hubble and ISS orbit
conducts electricity and the auroras form here
mostly hydrogen, weather satellites are here
conditions of the atmosphere at a particular time and place
long-term average of weather, includes precipitation and temperature
