Global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans.

Major Consequences:-

  • The massive ice sheets in the Arctic are melting at alarming rates which will lead to destructive catastrophes like floods, hurricanes etc.
  • As temperature rises, disease-carrying mosquitoes and rodents will spread and infect people badly

Two e-books (free to download) explain the various aspects of Global Warming. See Sources and Related Links.

What continents drift affect a continents climate?

Continents drifting can affect a continent's climate by altering ocean currents, changing wind patterns, and creating or disrupting mountain ranges. For example, the collision of continents can create new mountain ranges that affect precipitation patterns and weather systems. Additionally, shifting continents can impact the distribution of landmasses, leading to changes in temperature and humidity across regions.


How has the movement of continents caused Earth's climate to change?

The movement of continents has influenced Earth's climate change through plate tectonics altering ocean currents, affecting wind patterns, and impacting the distribution of landmasses. For example, the collision of continents can create mountain ranges that affect air circulation and precipitation patterns, leading to regional climate changes. Additionally, the breakup of continents can open up new ocean basins, which can influence global climate through changes in ocean circulation.


How many changes in he positions of the continents affect global climates?

Continents affect the climate by their size and by their effects on ocean circulations, but if you are worried that we will be affected in turn, don't be! The mean speed of continental drift is about 25mm/year so nothing for us to lose sleep over!


Do ocean affect your climate?

yes it does.


How does the ocean affect the costal climate?

The ocean affect the coastal climate because water takes longer to heat and to cool than the land does and thus the climate of places that are near the ocean are moderated by the water.


How can ocean affect climate?

Because of weather


Can ocean affect climate?

Because of weather


How do we affect the Atlantic ocean?

i think your words are flipped. You may mean "How does the Atlantic ocean affect the climate?" If that is your question, the ocean currents have a major impact on the climate of some countries because the temperature of the ocean current can affect the surrounding regions. You should look into ocean currents.


What are the factors that affect the climate of a place?

ocean currents


How do ocean currents affect coastal climate temperature?

no


What are the factor that affect the climate of a place?

how the breakup of Pangaea affect climate?

The breakup of Pangaea led to the formation of separate continents, changing ocean currents and wind patterns. This change influenced the distribution of heat and moisture around the Earth, impacting global climate patterns. As continents drifted apart, new climate zones emerged, leading to the development of different ecosystems and climates across the planet.
