A change in average conditions like temperature and rainfall in a region over a long period of time is called this.

What is climate change?

300
These are 2 activities that are increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
What are burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests?
300

Human activities like these are changing the Earth's natural greenhouse effect.

What is burning fossil fuels like coal and oil.

300

When studying an ice core, scientists analyze the layers to see how much of this is in them.

What is CO2/carbon dioxide?

300

Water is good at storing this.

What is heat (or carbon dioxide)?

Throughout the Earth's history, whenever the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has gone up, the temperature has done this.

What is gone up?

500
This surrounds the Earth, like the glass that surrounds a greenhouse.
