What is Climate
CHANGE?
LONG-TERM CHANGES TO THE
NORMAL WEATHER PATTERNS THAT
HAVE COME TO DEFINE LOCAL,
REGIONAL, AND GLOBAL CLIMATES
ON EARTH ARE KNOWN AS CLIMATE
CHANGE. THE PHRASE IS
SYNONYMOUS WITH A WIDE
VARIETY OF OBSERVABLE
OUTCOMES RESULTING FROM THESE
CHANGES.
WHat is a Rainforest?
A rainforest is an area of tall,
mostly evergreen trees and a
high amount of rainfall.
Rainforests are Earth's oldest
living ecosystems, with some
surviving in their present form
for at least 70 million years.
How does climate change affect animals in
the rainforest?
Increased temperatures and reduced rainfall in some areas may
also reduce suitable habitat during dry, warm months and
potentially lead to an increase in invasive, exotic species, which
then can out-compete native species.

How do Humans affect the rainfores?
Humans affect rain forests by cut down rain
forest trees for timber used in flooring,
furniture, and other items. Power plants and
other industries cut and burn trees to
generate electricity
