1A global climate model is a [blank_start]mathematical[blank_end]
representation of the interactions between and
within the [blank_start]ocean[blank_end], [blank_start]land[blank_end], [blank_start]ice[blank_end], and [blank_start]atmosphere[blank_end].
Each of these components is distinct withinthe
model.- Amathematical

2To construct [blank_start]climate[blank_end] models, scientists divide each
of the Earth's components spatially into a set of [blank_start]boxes[blank_end].
Simple models may have only a [blank_start]few[blank_end] boxes.
The most complex models may have more than a
[blank_start]hundred thousand[blank_end]- Aboxes
