climate change- natural causes

Question 1

tilt on earth

Answer 1

22.2 and 24.5 is the tilt of the earth. the mire it increases the more solar energy is received
this causes night and day BTW

Question 2

eccentricity

Answer 2

the earth encounters more variation in the energy that the sun gives when the earth’s orbit is elongated than it does when earth’s orbit is more circular
every 100 000 years

Question 3

precessions

Answer 3

every 26 000 years
affects places like Norway with long days in summer or long nights in winter.
a gradual change or wobble in the orientation of earth’s axis affects the relationship between the earth’s tilt or eccentricity

Question 4

3 types of natural climate change

Answer 4

orbital theory
solar
volcanic

Question 5

volcanic ash effects

Answer 5

blocks sun rays which reduces the temperature temporarily

Question 6

volcanic eruption

Answer 6

the ash blocks sun rays which reduces the temperature temporarily
fine droplets are sulphar dioxide which turns to sulfuric acid. This acts like tiny mirrors reflecting the sun’s radiation.
causes temperature to drop
this could last for years

Question 7

volcanoes and cooling of climate

Answer 7

volcanic winter

Question 8

mount Tambora

Answer 8

in 1815 mount tambora erupted this caused the temperature to decrease by 0.4-0.7
many harvest failed too.

Question 9

sunspot maximum

Answer 9

gives more heat and explosions

Question 10

sunspot minimum

Answer 10

solar output reduces, low temperatures on earth

Question 11

sunspot cycle duration

Answer 11

11 years

Question 12

3 food crisis due to mount Tambora

Answer 12

world harvest failed
north America and Western Europe had a major food crisis
food prices increased sharply
food riots
