Due to the phenomenon known as global warming, the surface temperature of the earth is increasing every year. It is warming in some areas more than others and over the last century, the temperature has increased an average of 13 degrees.

What statement best describes how carbon dioxide and Earth and average temperature are related?
Both have increased gradually over the past 150 years.
How has the climate changed over the last 100 years?
The temperature has increased.
What forces have shaped earth's surface over millions of years?
Wind and water, known as weathering and erosion, have shaped the surface of the Earth.
What is a gradual increase in the temperature of Earth's atmosphere called?
Global warming is the name given to the recent (over 200 years) gradual increase in the temperature of Earth's atmosphere.
The rise in average global temperatures over time?
Earth is a ball shape and the light shine on earth hit earth. While earth is a ball of surface area 4.pi.R2 but earth is visible to sun as a circle with area Pi.R2. Visible area to Sun V.S. actual surface area is the key to different light intensity. Picture the equator, light is most intense at the centre (most intense/area). At North or South pole, light is less intense since it is more surface area than visible area. So it was not heat-up evenly and so the temperature variation. There are many more factor such as wind direction, geometry shape of terrain and water current add extra variation to global temperature as well.

Why is Solar energy classed as a renewable source of Energy?
Well, technically it isn't, but it might as well be. By the time the Sun eventually runs out of fuel in a few billion years, Earth will be completely uninhabitable because the temperature will be above the boiling point of water. (This has nothing to do with "global warming". The Sun is very slowly getting hotter as it gets older and in a billion years or so the average temperature on Earth will have increased to the point where life as we know it will no longer be possible on the surface.)
What event always takes millions of years to change the surface of the earth?
volcanoes take millions of years to occur. it changes earth's surface.

The temperature has increased.
Why has interest in near-earth asteroids increased in recent years?
yes

Wind and water, known as weathering and erosion, have shaped the surface of the Earth.
How was the climate 10 years before?
There is not much difference between the last 10 years. The global temperature has increased somewhat.
What is the temperature of barnard?
Barnard's Star is a very low-mass red dwarf star.The estimated surface temperature of the red dwarf known as Barnard's Star is "only" about 3134 K, compared to our Sun's surface temperature of about 5778 K. It radiates mostly in the infrared, and is the closest detected red dwarf to Earth, about 6 light years away.
How do scientists know the surface temperature of the earth has changed over the last 2000 years?
Thermometer! Thermometers were actually around that long ago, well, not as we see them now but still it was a thermometer!

When the earth surface breaks down after many years What is it called?
Erosion
