Their answers should include the following:.
Tornado: clouds, strong wind, rain, hail..
Hurricane or cyclone: strong wind, heavy rain..
Blizzard: heavy snow, ice, cold temperatures..
Dust storm: strong winds, arid conditions..

What is the main evidence for climate change?
Scientific evidence for warming of the climate system is unequivocal. Ice cores drawn from Greenland, Antarctica, and tropical mountain glaciers show that Earth's climate responds to changes in greenhouse gas levels.
What are the three evidence of climate change?
Observable evidence of rapid climate change includes: Global temperature rise. Warming ocean. Shrinking ice sheets.
What are the extremes of climate change?
Scientific studies indicate that extreme weather events such as heat waves and large storms are likely to become more frequent or more intense with human-induced climate change. This chapter focuses on observed changes in temperature, precipitation, storms, floods, and droughts.
