An example of this is sunspot activity. "Variation in ____ ____ _____".
Solar energy output
1 of 7
A natural event that causes an increase in dust particles in the atmosphere, leading to there being more absorption and scattering of incoming radiation.
Volcanic activity
2 of 7
This can be affected by volcanic activity, for example.
Atmosphere composition
3 of 7
A change in the Earth's orbit, tilt and wobble can affect this. "_______ relationship between the __ and the ____".
Astronomical Sun Earth
4 of 7
This function occurring below the Earth's surface causes the redistribution of landmasses into differing latitudes.
Plate tetonics
5 of 7
These are extraterrestrial objects that deplete the ozone layer and also block some incoming radiation.
Meteorites
6 of 7
A change that affects the exchange of heat between a major body of water and the atmosphere. This change can occur in the short term (e.g. an El Nino event) or in the long-term. "Changes in _____ ______."
Oceanic circulation
