Grade Post-Secondary · Science · 45 min· 15. Obtain, Evaluate, And Communicate Information To Verify That Weather (e.g., Temperature, Relative Humidity, Air Pressure, Dew Point, Adiabatic Cooling, Condensation, Precipitation, Winds, Ocean Currents, Barometric Pressure, Wind Velocity) Is Influenced By Energy Transfer Within And Among The Atmosphere, Geosphere, And Hydrosphere. 14. Analyze And Interpret Data On The Effects Of Changes In Regional And Global Energy Distribution Resulting From Variations In Earth's Axial Tilt, Orbital Eccentricity, And Precession, And The Impact Of These Changes On Climate (e.g., Glaciation, Desertification, Sea-level Fluctuations).
