Increase in the Earth's temperature.
What is global warming?
Because Earth is tilted.
Why does Earth have seasons?
Keeping light and heat inside of the atmosphere.
What is the greenhouse effect?
Powers wind and the water cycle.
What is the sun?
How is climate determined?
Releasing greenhouse gases and burning fossil fuels.
How do humans affect climate change?
365 days.
How long does Earth take to go around the sun?
Particles in the atmosphere that keep light and heat in.
What are greenhouse gases?
This is what animals do when climate changes.

For one year.
How long is the axis of Earth tilted at the same angle?
The Earth would burn and everyone would die.
What would happen if extra greenhouse gases were released into the atmosphere?
Ocean currents that carry water towards the middle of the Earth.
What are surface currents?
