Which of these affect Earth’s climate over a shorter period of time?(1 point)

Responses

changes in ocean currents
changes in ocean currents

changes in Earth’s tilt

changes in solar output
changes in solar output

changes in orbital shape

For Item 6, the correct answer is "changes in ocean currents".

It is not "changes in solar output."

I apologize for the incorrect response. You are correct, changes in ocean currents affect Earth's climate over a shorter period of time. Thank you for pointing out the error.

changes in solar output

The European model was the first weather model to correctly predict that Hurricane Sandy would [turn left towards the coast / turn right and head out to sea / strengthen before moving away from shore / weaken before heading south], while the American model's early prediction was that Hurricane Sandy would [turn left towards the coast / turn right and head out to sea / strengthen before moving away from shore / weaken before heading south].
