Question #8f352
1 Answer
B. A volcanic eruption
Explanation:
B. a volcanic eruption can cause a sudden change in climate.
When Krakartoa erupted in 1883 it changed the world climate
There was an immediate change in the average temperature of more than 1.2 degrees C world wide. There was no summer that year. It wasn't until 1888 that world wide climate returned to normal.
A. An ice age is a gradual change in climate as the earth cools.
C. Burning fossil fuels is thought to cause a gradual increase in the world temperature.
D. tectonic plate movement presently moves very slowly. The plate movements cause volcanos that change the climate. One theory of the extinction of the dinosaurs is that there was a rapid movement of the plates causing multiple simultaneous volcanic eruptions that caused the climate change that killed the dinosaurs.
( This while a possible answer is not the best answer. plate tectonics may cause volcanos but the volcanos are the direct cause of the climate change. )
