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