Study Notes

Studying Global Climate Change

One of the most useful tools for studying how global climate has changed is ice cores, which provide a chronological record of climate patterns.

Causes of Global Warming

The primary cause of the current increase in average global temperature is the increasing levels of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, in the Earth's atmosphere.

Mountainous Regions and Climate

Mountains affect climate by creating rain shadows, where air is forced to rise, cool, and condense, resulting in higher precipitation on one side of the mountain and a drier climate on the other.

Sea Level Rise

When water is added to oceans through melting, sea level rise occurs, as the increased volume of water occupies more space.

Negative Feedback in Climate Change

An example of negative feedback related to climate change is the increased plant growth resulting from elevated CO2 levels, which in turn absorbs some of the excess CO2 from the atmosphere.
