Global Climate Change
INFORMATION ABOUT THE SMALL IDEA
Earth > Earth's climate > Global Climate Change
Global climate change is a result of human industrial and agricultural activities and the over-exploitation of natural resources (especially non-renewable ones).
Connection to Big Idea about energy: The global climate of the Earth mostly reflects the energy that enters and then circulates and is distributed in the atmosphere/hydrosphere system. Global climate change is also a product of human’s over-consumption of natural resources, as well as excessive use and degradation of energy.
Connection to Big Idea about the universe: There are several astronomical factors that influence the climate of the Earth, from the activity of the Sun to the orbital characteristics of the planet.
