Effects of Climate Change in the Atmosphere
16
Storms
Causes of Climate Change
Are most common when...
Natural Causes:
-there is lots of moisture in the air
-changes in volcanic activity
-changes in solar output (radiation)
-rapidly rising warm air from the atmosphere
-variations in the earth's orbit around the sun
Effects
Human Causes:
-flooding
-emission of greenhouse gases
Wildfires
-loss of homes, crops, livestock
-deforestation
-burning of fossil fuels
How are they started??
-hot and dry weather causes trees and leaves to dry and lose their leaves
-fire may start from lightning, heat from the sun, etc.
Effects
-loss of homes :(
-loss of vegetation and wildlife
Floods
Are caused by...
-rapidly increasing temperatures in the spring (most commonly)
-severe storms
Effects
-damage to homes, crops, livestock
Drought
Occurs when...
-precipitation falls unevenly over an area
As temperatures rise from climate change, more moisture evaporates from land and water, leaving less water behind
Effects
Heat Waves
-lack of precipitation
-dried out crops
are becoming more common, more widespread, and more severe
-loss of wildlife
-dehydration
How do they happen??
a system of high atmospheric pressure moves into an area, air from higher levels of the atmosphere gets pulled toward the ground, air compresses and increases earth's temperature
Effects
-shift in climatic zones
-loose soil, unstable house foundations
-loss of agriculture
