Are you a Leader or a Follower??? Leaders A real leader faces the music, even when he doesn't like the tune. Anon Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others. Jack Welch The best leaders are the best notetakers, best askers and best learners - They are shameless thieves Tom Peters Follower You’re unique. Don’t be a follower. Be a leader. Anon Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower. Steve Jobs

6. Atmospheric Circulation : a.Global winds distribute heat and moisture around Earth b.Warm/moist air created near equator and moves toward cool/dry areas of the poles.

D. What kind of changes occur over time that may affect the climate? 1. Procession a.The change in the shape of the Earth's orbit around the sun. b.It is thought that the shape of Earth’s orbit around the sun changes over a 100,000 year cycle. c.When the orbit is more circular rather than an ellipse, Earth is farther from the sun and the temperature becomes colder.

2. Plate movement /Geography a.Tectonic plates move so they will eventually change the location of landforms, and therefore may affect the climate patterns on the Earth.

3. Atmospheric Conditions a.An increase in clouds may lead to an increased greenhouse effect trapping gases in the atmosphere making our temperatures rise. b.It is also believed that an increase in clouds allows them to reflect more solar radiation which produces a cooling effect on the climate.

4. Greenhouse Effect & Global Warming a.Greenhouse Effect- natural warming of Earth’s atmosphere 1.Greenhouse gases = carbon dioxide and water vapor 2.Effected by human activites, such as increase in carbon dioxide. b.Global Warming 1.Increase in carbon dioxide and water vapor may lead to warmer Earth 2.Higher evaporation, melting of ice caps

Effects of Greenhouse Gases Natural Earth After CO2 pollution

Temp vs. CO2

5. Volcanoes a.When a volcano erupts, it puts enormous volumes of dust, ash, smoke & chemicals into the atmosphere. b.The dust and ash particles in the air block solar radiation from reaching the surface of the Earth. This causes the Earth’s temperature to drop.
