Climate Change STS

Climate refers to long-term weather patterns over an area, not daily weather. The Earth's tilt and wobble cause uneven sunlight distribution globally. Key elements of the sun-Earth interaction include the points of closest and farthest orbit, axial tilt, precession, equinoxes, and solstices. Milankovitch identified how orbital radius, tilt, and wobble affect climate. There is debate around whether current global warming is natural or caused by human activities like greenhouse gas emissions trapping heat.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate
 is not similar to weather which is constantly changing.
 It refers to the long –term weather patterns prevailing
over a given area of the planet.
 The greek world “klinein” meaning “to slope”.
Earth’s
 The tilt of the earth, the whole area does not receive an
equal amount of sunligth.

 The earth spins around its own avis, an imaginary line


from the north pole to the south pole, which dips and
wobbles gradually.
The elements in this interaction between the
sun and the earth are defined as Follows
 Aphelion- refers to the point in the orbit of the earth fasthest from the sun.
 Perihelion – is the point in the orbit of the earth closest to the sun.
 Earth’ axial tilt – is the inclination angle of the earth’s rotational axis in
relation to a line perpendicular to its orbital plane.
 Precession – is the change of the orientation of the rotational axis of the
earth.
 Equinox – refers to the time the sun at noon is directly over the equator. It
happens twice a year and causes an almost equal length of day and nigth.
 Solstice– happens when the sun at noon sits above the tropic of the longest
period of capricorn. The summer solstice has the longest period of dayligth in the
year and the winter solstice has the shortest period.
 Precession of The Equinoxes– refers to the motion of the equinoxes
relative to the procession of the earth’s axis of rotation. It happens over thousand
of year.
Milankovitch Parameters
 This is thre effects of the change in the radius of the
earth’s orbit, the change in the tilt of the spin of the
earth’s, and the wobble in the spin of axis.
 it was addressed as early as the 1930’s by slovak
scientist and meteorologist “Miluntin Milankovitch”.
 Global Warming
 There are two opposing arguments on the issue of
whether or not this global warming is just ‘Natural”
 One side states that nature, simply acting according to its
laws with no reference to human beings and their action
is the main reason. For the purveyors of this belief, global
warming will happen as naturally as the sun’s rise and sets
 The other side maintains that global warming is caused or
greatly abutted by the actions of human beings. It lays the
blame on the action of humanity, past and present.
 Green House
 The so-called “greenhouse effect” reffers to how
certain gases in the atmosphere trap the heat of the
sun.
