Climate Systems
The climate of Earth is a mosaic of temperature and moisture patterns that affect the distribution of plants and animals and the shape of the Earth's surface. Much is known about the present climate patterns of the Earth, yet our understanding of the cause of these distributions and change that occurs over time is ever unfolding. Not only do geoscientists like climatologists seek to unravel the interactions between natural phenomena that determine climate, but also seek to understand how human activity determines our climate.
