long - term, predictable changes in the earths orbit and tilt that
affect the amount of solar energy reaching earth
greenhouse effect
weather pattern that occurs when trade winds weaken and
reverse (flow backwards to the east)

Explanation:

• El Nino: Weather pattern that occurs when trade winds weaken and reverse (flow backwards to the east).
• La Nina: Weather pattern that occurs when trade winds in the Pacific strengthen and blow warm air and water to the west.
• Milankovitch Cycles: Long - term, predictable changes in the Earth's orbit and tilt that affect the amount of solar energy reaching Earth.
• Carbon Dioxide: A greenhouse gas made from the combustion of fossil fuels.
• Greenhouse Effect: A natural process where certain gases in Earth's atmosphere trap heat from the sun, warming the planet's surface.
