What is polar climate.
Climate with short, warm summers and long, cold winters.
what is global warming

land and water
What is carbon dioxide?
Increased atmospheric concentration of this greenhouse gas causes an increase in ocean acidity.
What is the equator?
An imaginary line drawn around the earth equally distant from both poles
What is climate change?
the change in global climate patterns caused by the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels.
