There are many natural processes that can change climate at a local level. The following are processes that affect global climate over periods of no more than a few thousand years:
- Volcanic eruptions can cause short-term climate change by cooling the earth, as the ash blocks out the sun.
- A cycle of precession in the earth's orbit can initiate gradual climate change over a period that lasts 26,000 years. This is too gradual to be perceptible except over the very long term.
- Climate change can also be initiated by the cycle in which the earth's elliptical orbit rotates. Again, this is too gradual to be perceptible except over the very long term.
- The angle between Earth's rotational axis and the normal to the plane of its orbit oscillates between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees on a 41,000-year cycle. This can affect the seasonal variation of climate.
Sun spots have been considered and studied as a possible cause of global climate change, but have since been ruled out as an unlikely cause.

How does climate change affect habitats?
Climate change can cause various effects. It causes living organisms to move from their natural habitat.
Does ozone depletion cause climate change?
Yes, ozone depletion can cause climate change. It causes greenhouse effect which can then cause climate change.
Which natural cause of climate change deals with changes to Earth's orbit around the Sun?
Tilt Angle
Is global warming a cause or a effect of climate change?
Global warming is the cause of climate change.Climate change is the result of global warming.
How does a hurricane cause the climate to change?
They don't. It is believed that climate change can increase the number of hurricanes.
Why is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change so concerned about the emission of CO2?
As atmospheric CO2 is considered the major cause of climate change it is only natural that the Panel on Climate Change should be concerned with processes that affect it.
Is climate change cause by natural phenomena or artificial?
it is a natural phenomenon
What effect did climate change have on the evolution?
Climate change can cause various effects. It causes living organisms to move from their natural habitat.
How does climate change affect habitats?
Climate change can cause various effects. It causes living organisms to move from their natural habitat.
Can technology change natural processes cause more harm than good?

How does nature affect climate?
Climate change can cause various effects. It causes living organisms to move from their natural habitat.
What are two natural factors caused by nature that can cause extinctions?
climate change and asteroid impact
Does ozone depletion cause climate change?
Yes, ozone depletion can cause climate change. It causes greenhouse effect which can then cause climate change.
Which natural cause of climate change deals with changes to Earth's orbit around the Sun?
Tilt Angle
What are some natural events that have caused change in earth climate?
The eruptions of volcanos can cause significant climate changes due to volcanic ash in the air.
How does you addiction change the brain?
Your addiction changes the brain by altering its chemistry. A drug interferes with the natural processes of the brain. Because of this, it can cause the brain to become dependent on the drug to perform natural processes. This means if you stop taking the drug, the brains new set of natural processes get disrupted and that cause a craving, because the body and brain believe the need the drug to function properly; this causes an addiction.
What a cause of natural selection?
The cause of natural selection is a change in the environment of a species. This change can have many causes. E.g. climate change, introduction of a new species, flooding, etc. When such an environmental change occurs, the individuals which are the most fit will have the biggest probability to survive and change the relative gene frequency in a species' genetic pool.
