=__ Factors That Effect Climate in the Atmosphere __=


 * There are a lot of factors that affect climate in the atmosphere. From the Coriolis Effect, El Nino and La Nina to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, these affect the climate many different ways. **


 * Greenhouses gases in the earth’s atmosphere take in and emit thermal energy. Although some of these gases are naturally found on earth (water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide) some are human-made, (chlorofluorocarbons or CFC’s, burning and extracting fossil fuels). These make up all the parts necessary to make the "world renowned" Global Warming unfortunately come in to effect **
 * When wind moves over long distances, the movement of earth has an impact on its direction. The Coriolis Effect is known as a difference in the angle of moving wind because of the Earth's rotation. This naturally occurring phenomena cause to bend to the right side in the north hemisphere and veer left in the southern hemisphere. This effect not only influences the direction of the winds, but it also affects ocean currents, planes and projectiles. **

** In our “home and native land”, an El Niño period the greatest increase in temperature is noticed the Manitoba-Ontario area. The average temperature deviation is up to +5°C. In an El Niño winter, southern Canada is likely to be drier during this time. British Columbia usually receives less snow than usual. ** ** This figure shows what happens during an El Nino Event **
 * El Nino/ La Nina are an irregular climate system occurring across the Pacific Ocean every five or so years. **

** On the other hand, in a La Niña period, waters off the coast of British Columbia are cooler than normal. In the time span this phenomenon is in effect, Canada’s average air temperature is typically lower than usual, as the rain in south Canada increases above normal levels. South British Colombia takes in more snow than normal. Prairie wheat harvests don’t end up well due to the effects of La Niña. **

** In Short, there are various points that affect the climate we live in around the world in many ways.from the Coriolis effect, La Nina/El Nino to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, each natural phenomenon and disaster all have a part the in the never ending history of our planet Earth. Even as you read this passage, these Natural Occurences are happening each and every day since the beginning of time and have become part of our every day lives. As humans we learn to cope with natural disasters using 21 century technology to better predict when where ard how these miracles of nature occur. **
