- ICTZ=International
Tropical Convergence
Zone
- Pressure
- Cool air sinks and creates high
pressure with little
precipitation
- Hot air rises creating low
pressure and lots of precipitation
- Past Climate Change
- Natural Causes
- Volcanic Eruptions and Asteroid Collisions release
large clouds of ash, cooling the Earth's surface
- Sunspots are areas of the sun with
particularly high Solar Output that heat
areas of the Earth more when they are
exposed
- Variations in the Earth's Orbit cause the sun
to be at different distances from the Earth
which affects the heat incident on the Earth
- Evidence
- Ice Cores
- Extracted by drilling
into thick layered
sheets of ice
- Bubbles of gas when analysed reveal what the
atmosphere was like millions of years ago
- Tree Rings
- Analysing Tree
Stumps
- The thicker the ring, the more
moisture it was exposed to
- Historical
Evidence
- Photographs
- Diaries
- Letters
- Future Climate

- Enhanced Greenhouse
Effect
- Industry
- Transport
- Energy
- Farming
- Evidence
- Sea level rise and
warming oceans
- Temperature
rise
- Declining
arctic Ice
- Increased
extreme weather
events
- Projections are varied due to
uncertainty of action to be taken to
reduce climate change
