Climate Change

Climate change, also called global warming, refers to the rise in average surface temperatures on Earth. Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns when that change lasts for an expanded timeframe (i.e., decades to millions of years). Environmental change may refer to a change in average weather conditions, or in the time variation of climate inside the setting of longer-term normal conditions. Climate change is caused by factors, for example, biotic procedures, variations in solar radiation received by Earth, plate tectonics, and volcanic emissions. Certain human activities have been identified as essential drivers of ongoing climate change. Weathering, degradation of materials by abiotic environmental forces and associated biotic processes.
