2
Earth would not have seasons if it —
no longer tilted on its axis
took an additional month to orbit the sun
stopped rotating on its axis
revolved around the sun in the opposite direction
3
Climate change is. . . ?
happening in other parts of the world but not in the US.
Only happening in extreme circumstances (i.e. Meteors impacts)
A natural change of global temperatures and climates to over geologic time
only happening because of human involvement
4

Temperate Marine
Tropical Rainy
Dry
7
How do CFC's impact our planet?
They repair damages to the ozone layer
The help endangered species
The refreeze the melting icebergs
They create holes in our ozone layer
8

14
Currents that start in low latitude regions and move to high latitude regions affect the climate by
bringing warm water to cold water areas.
bringing cold water to warm water areas.
