Climate Change

          Different areas on earth have different climates. If you have been to other places in the Philippines, you may have noticed a similarity in the weather over an extended period of time. This weather is due to the location of the Philippines. The Philippines is in the tropical zone close to the equator. Hence, it receives direct rays from the sun, This produces a warm climate. Areas far from the equator have cooler climates.
          Can climate change? Scientists claimed that the climate of the earth thousands of years ago was different from the climate at present. There are factors that caused the climate to change.
          Major climate changes are caused by the slow drifting of the continents, changes in the sun's energy output and variations in the position of the earth in relation to the sun.
