How Earth's Global Climate Is Formed
Bjorn Stevens
What makes planet Earth so unique? It’s all about its Climate. Learn how temperature, the atmosphere, sunlight reflection, greenhouse gases, rainfall, and wind work together to create our global climate. Let’s explore how these elements combine to shape Earth’s distinct climate system.
How Continental Climates are Shaped
Christian Jakob
Why does the climate vary across the globe? The Sun’s energy, the movement of the atmosphere and oceans, and the interplay between land and sea all create unique climate patterns. Let’s explore how these forces shape the world’s diverse climates in different regions.
This is calledHow Regional Climate Works
Europe sits at the crossroads of Arctic air, Atlantic moisture, and Mediterranean heat. The result is one of the world's most climatically varied regions. Let's explore how Europe's landscapes and geography drive its many distinct climate zones.
