Essay on Global Climate ChangeClimate and weather are both conditions of our atmosphere. Weather is a condition over a short period of time, the degrees, whether it's raining, snowing, windy, etc. and the climate extends over a long period of time, if you live somewhere more tropical it will be wetter, wetter and hotter. . Climate is essentially what weather usually represents the normal conditions in a place, over the long term average weather. Depending on where you live you will determine the climate and the type of weather you usually have and you will now feel that there is global warming and the colder places are getting warmer the warmer places are getting a explosion of cold and the polar ice caps melt. So now the climate and weather are probably different in many, many places than they were four or five years ago. For Examples If you live in the South, near the equator, where it is warm, such as Tampa, Florida, your climate is humid and hot most of the year and temperatures are between 80 and 90 degrees. But if you live somewhere further north, closer to the North Pole, like Manchester, England, it's generally cold and rainy most of the year with temperatures ranging from the 40s to the mid-60s. climate and climate change are not the same thing. Even though many newspapers, magazines and advertisements use them so much, it's as if they are and many people believe that is the case. In fact, global warming occurs when the Earth loses more energy than it is supposed to gain. Climate uses the energy that the Earth receives and the energy radiated by the Earth. When properly balanced, the climate is more normally as it is and more stable. Climate change is a long period of average weather in a place as stated in the sentences above, but also it seems middle of paper...... men play in a community. Sea levels are also affected by global climate change. change in temperature. Because the polar ice caps are melting, causing an increase in the amount of water on earth and a rise in sea levels. Our sea levels have been rising and have risen 4 inches in the last century. Which causes us to lose less land, because it will be overtaken by new water coming from the melting ice. We should go to higher ground, the less land there is, the fewer people we can have. Marine animals will be hurt when cold water goes down if they are not supposed to be in cold waters and cold water animals will be hurt because they are not supposed to be in warmer waters. Polar bears and other arctic animals will disappear once their habitat disappears. Tectonic plates are also affected, they move not only the land but also the sea. This can cause tsunamis and earthquakes.
