You must be able to define the following Major Terms:

L1 Climate Change

ð     Climate

ð     Weather

ð     Weather Systems

ð     Atmosphere (troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere)

ð     Landforms

ð     Water cycle

ð     Three spheres that play a role in weather (biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere)

ð     Identify and label drawings of Refraction (index or refraction(n), Incident Ray, Normal, Refracted Ray, plane, medium)

L3 Climate Change

ð     5 factors that affect climate (at spheres, land masses, hydrosphere, jet streams/prevailing winds, suns energy & earth’s revolution)

ð     Seasons (Earth’s tilt vs Distance from sun)

ð     Natural greenhouse effect

L4 Climate Change

ð     Greenhouse gases (Ozone (ground level vs.  atmospheric), Water Vapor, CFCs, Methane, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide)
