Earth's climate constantly changing due to human activities and

• natural processes

• ocean currents

• aging solar activity

• plate tectonics

Ways that Earth's climate changes NATURALLY

• solar activity-more sunspots

• changes in Earth's tilt/axis

• burning of fossil fuels

• mining of coal and oil

Climate of an area could change when large amount of gas or ashes block sun's radiation, which cause cooling of Earth. This activity is called

• solar activity

• volcanic eruptions

• Earth's tilt

• La Nina

Global climate also changed naturally when

• evaporation is disrupted by technology

• Earth's tilt angle changes from 22.1 to 24.5 degrees.

• El Nino and La Nina occurs at the same time.

• Earth's orbit path become more elliptical.

A period or climate where the Easter Pacific Ocean gets warmer and receives more rainfall is called

• El Nino

• La Nina

A period where the Eastern Pacific Ocean cool down and have less rainfall is called

• El Nino

• La Nina

• Ice Ages

• global warming

Appearance of more sunspots in the Sun during solar activity means

• part of the Earth receives less solar radiation

• part of the Earth receives more solar radiation

• Northern hemispheres have more sun

• Southern hemispheres have more sun

Earth's tilt while rotating on its axis causes

• day and night

• four seasons

• global warming

• 24 hours per day

Which of the following is the common evidence of the increasing global temperature

• water shortages

• sea level changes

• change in Earth's tilt

• more sunspots
