All About Climate - Education The enormous variety of life on Earth is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past Climate has influenced the development of cultures and civilizations
Earths Changing Climates - Education Analyze geoscience data and the results from global climate models to make an evidence-based forecast of the current rate of global or regional climate change and associated future impacts to Earth systems
Earths Changing Climate - Education The climate has changed many times during Earth’s history, but the changes have occurred slowly, over thousands of years Only since the Industrial Revolution have human activities begun to influence climate—and scientists are still working to understand what the consequences might be
Greenhouse Effect - Education The greenhouse effect keeps Earth’s climate comfortable Without it, surface temperatures would be cooler by about 33 degrees Celsius (60 degrees Fahrenheit), and many life forms would freeze
Ocean Currents and Climate - Education The ocean has an interconnected current, or circulation, system powered by wind, tides, Earth’s rotation (Coriolis effect), the sun (solar energy), and water density differences The topography and shape of ocean basins and nearby landmasses also influence ocean currents
The Greenhouse Effect and our Planet - Education According to scientists, the average temperature of Earth would drop from 14˚C (57˚F) to as low as –18˚C (–0 4˚F), without the greenhouse effect Some greenhouse gases come from natural sources, for example, evaporation adds water vapor to the atmosphere
Weather or Climate . . . Whats the Difference? - Education Global warming is a type of climate change, and it is already having a measurable effect on the planet in the form of melting Arctic sea ice, retreating glaciers, rising sea levels, increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, and a change in animal and plant ranges
Paleoclimatology - National Geographic Society Paleoclimatology is the study of previous climates that have existed during Earth's different geologic ages Paleo climatologists try to identify the causes of climate changes that have happened in the past in order to better understand our present and future climate
Climatology - Education | National Geographic Society Earth has been growing warmer and warmer as human industry has expanded and released more carbon into the atmosphere This effect, called global warming, is a particularly important object of study for climatologists
The Five Major Types of Biomes - Education A biome is a large area characterized by its vegetation, soil, climate, and wildlife There are five major types of biomes: aquatic, grassland, forest, desert, and tundra, though some of these biomes can be further divided into more specific categories, such as freshwater, marine, savanna, tropical rainforest, temperate rainforest, and taiga
