Earth's Climate System: What Creates It and How It Affects the Distribution of Living Things

Join Dr. Murray as he talks about the factors that contribute to our climate system, like the shape and size of the Earth, its position in the solar system, the composition of its atmosphere, and the distribution of land masses. After that, we can delve into how climate characteristics influence plant and animal life and how they vary across different parts of the planet. If time permits, we can also explore the recent climate changes, their reasons, and how they could impact the environment.
