An increase in Carbon Dioxide gas would cause

• Greenhouse warming of Earth's Atmosphere

• Greenhouse cooling of Earth's Atmosphere

• Increased levels of Icecaps in the polar regions

• A constant greenhouse temperature in the atmosphere

The equator is Typically warmer than the poles because

• it has more direct sunlight throughout the year

• It has much less direct sunlight throughout the year

• It has a much higher elevation than the poles

• The poles have more precipitation

• Rise

• Drop

• Form a parabolic pattern

Tropical climates

• Divided into 3 subtypes: Subtropical, Mediterranean, Marine West Coast

• Precipitation is low and vegetation is scarce.

• Constant high temperatures

• Summer and winter can be extreme, changing rapidly.
