ACHGE071

The relationship between land cover change and climate change and the long-term impact of climate change on land cover.

ACHGE075

The causes, rate and projected impacts of global climate change.

ACHGE078

A local initiative designed to address the effects of global climate change on land cover.

ACSES106

Climate change affects the biosphere, atmosphere, geosphere and hydrosphere; climate change has been linked to changes in species distribution, crop productivity, sea level, rainfall patterns, surface temperature and extent of ice sheets

ACHGE077

The effects of climate change on land cover, for example, vegetation, ice sheets, glaciers and coral reefs.

ACHGE076

The interrelationships between land cover change and climate change, for example, the impacts of land cover loss on surface reflectivity (albedo) and the process of natural carbon sequestration.

ACSES108

Climate change models (for example, general circulation models, models of El Nino and La Nina) describe the behaviour and interactions of the oceans and atmosphere; these models are developed through the analysis of past and current climate data, with …

ACSES107

Geological, prehistorical and historical records provide evidence (for example, fossils, pollen grains, ice core data, isotopic ratios, indigenous art sites) that climate change has affected different regions and species differently over time

ACSBL021

In addition to biotic factors, abiotic factors including climate and substrate can be used to describe and classify environments
