Climate Change and Human Impacts

the Milankovitch cycle of Eccentricity is when...

• the shape of Earth's orbit changes in the amount of how round or oval it is.

• The tilt of Earth's orbit changes from 22.5 to 24.5 degrees

• the wobble of Earth on it's axis changes positions.

• the Earth's volcanoes all erupt at once.

• The tilt of Earth's orbit changes from 22.5 to 24.5 degrees

the Milankovitch cycle of Precession is when...

• the shape of Earth's orbit changes in the amount of how round or oval it is.

• The tilt of Earth's orbit changes from 22.5 to 24.5 degrees

• the wobble of Earth on it's axis changes positions.

• the Earth's volcanoes all erupt at once.

The reason we have seasons on our planet is because...

• we are closer to the sun during the winter and further during the winter.

• the tilt of Earth's axis allows for more direct sunlight in the summer and less direct sunlight in the winter.

• seasonal wind patterns carry warmer winds during the summer and colder winds during the winter.

• the Earth's orbit becomes more like an oval to give us different seasons.

What is the difference between weather and climate?

• They are the same.

• Weather is day to day, while climate is observed over a long periods.

• Climate is day to day, while weather is observed over a long period.

• Weather changes, while climate does not.
