The ways by which the components of Earth’s climate system interact to produce the world climates.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Earth’s climate is the result of interactions among several components. These include the input and transfer of energy from the Sun. It results in atmospheric temperature and pressure.
There are six components of Earth’s climate. These are insolation, energy, temperature, air pressure, air mass, and atmospheric moisture. Living things serve as carbon sources and sinks. In regulating, the albedo of the earth, snow, and ice of paramount importance-the amount of sunlight that can be reflected directly back into space. In effect, they are resistant to the temperatures of both air and water. The oceans are both carbon and heat energy sinks and sources and are prone to overhead atmospheric conditions and so on.
