Climate Change
• Caused Global Climate Change
The earth's temperature drops to degrees Celsius until 1888
Rainfall Increased in Southern California and Los Angeles.
How Particles Impacts Climates
Krakatau Eruption, Indonesia 1883
•
Large volcanic eruption can send huge clouds enter the
stratosphere.
•
They Spread out and drift.
•
The gas combined with water to form sulfuric acid
droplet.
When volcanic eruption impacts climates
Earth’s continents which joined together in gigantic
landmass called Pangea
After the landmass break-up, the continents had moved to
their present position.
Some continents cooled as they moved toward higher
latitudes
Climates change as continents move
•
The movement of continents had other effects on climate:
1. Change the paths of ocean
2. Help warm coastal regions
3. Altering the paths of winds so they influence temperature and precipitation
Ice Age
• Age ices are periods in which huge sheet
of ice spread out beyond the polar
regions.
• Ended between 14,000 and 10,000
