2. Long and Short Term Changes of Climate By: Nashmiya, Faizah, Shazia, Michelle and Zalmay
3. Small-Term changes in Climate Small changes that affect the whole climate system…. Things that cause small-term changes in the climate are: Volcanic eruptions Small changes in the sun’s radiation Air and Ocean currents
4.
5. The sulfur dioxide, that Volcanoes eject block the sun’s energy which means the sun’s energy bounces back to space.
6. Less Sun’s energy on Earth means that the temperature cools down, temporarily.
11. Measurements made during the early 1980s showed a decrease of 0.1 percent in the total amount of solar energy that reaches the Earth over 18 months.
12. If this continued, then over several decades, this will hold an impact on the global climate.
13.
14. During the Ice Age , huge ice sheets covered the Earth’s surface, and when the ice melted, all the fresh water went into oceans
15. Since the fresh water was less dense the actual salty water, it stayed near the ocean’s surface.Air and Ocean currents
16.
17. Every three to seven years, Pacific Ocean faces huge changes.
18. The prevailing winds change directions, temporarily, causing changes in the ocean currents
19.

21. Long-Term changes in Climate Changes in Climate are influenced by: Changes in Earth’s energy balance (If something goes different in energy absorption, Earth’s climate can change). If amount of energy received from the Sun changes, the climate will do the same.
22.
23. However, due to “global warming”, the long term effect could result in increased temperature, and that can have a great affect on everything (wildlife, ecozones, glaciers, etc...)
24. Earth has been going back and forth on the change of climate, from warmer to colder, going back and forth. Temperatures have drastically changed from before.
25.
26.
27. This very path can be slightly changed due to the glacial activity on Earth, that can affect the axial tilt (controls seasons) of the Earth.
28. Also, there could be either increase or decrease in the Sun’s sunspots, and that can slightly alter the solar cycle.
29.
30. As the glaciers would melt into the ocean, it would push the ocean currents down and cause new climates in different areas, most likely by cooling the ocean down a bit. Land masses would then have different seasonal temperatures, due to the new ocean currents nearby.
31.
32. The plates would rub against/slide/or go underneath each other, and make different continents to shift and relocate in different locations.
33.
34. More Volcanoes Due to the more active plate tectonic movement, more volcanism would exist around the world. The carbon dioxide is being lost by being slowly absorbed in the oceans. High overall temperature periods will probably cause a lot of greenhouse warming due to volcanic carbon dioxide!
39. Wobble of the earth as it spins (Determines which star is going to be our “North Star”
40. Tilt of earth on its axis ( As angle increases, season differences increase)
41.
42. Human Influences Increase in burning of fossil fuels and release of aerosols, excessive land use and deforestation can change the climate severely. All of these could result in loss and change of fossil fuels, glaciers, vegetations, permafrost regions, average sea levels, and wild life habitats.
56. It allowed the people to grow agriculture; growing seasons were longer.
57. Conditions were different elsewhere, however; China had little rainfall from 700 to 900 BC because of "weak summer monsoons that failed to develop over the Pacific ocean“.
60. Important geological event occurred: Mount Tambora, located on an Indonesian island called Sumbawa, gave off an extremely massive amount of volcanic dust into the atmosphere which blocked the sun's rays, therefore lowering the temperature.
61. Because of volcanic eruptions and cold temperatures, the northern hemisphere had to go "a year without summer“.

65. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs instead of regular onesBenefits: Saves 150 pounds of Carbon dioxide every year and uses a lot less energy.
66.
67.
68.
69. Rising temperatures is expected to cause warming of the oceans and the partial melting of glaciers and ice-caps, resulting in a global rise in sea level.
70.
71.
72. Massive flooding is caused by the loss of polar ice. This causes massive flooding and could possibly engulf small islands
73.
74.
75. Loss of Food: Melting polar ice is affecting the life of many animals and tiny organisms that larger creatures feed on for survival.
