PLZ HELP ME

Which of these is an example of an example factor which affects the earths climate?
A - Decrease in the suns energy.
B - Warm and cold ocean currents.
C - Increase in atmospheric dioxide.
D - Release of dust during volcanic eruption

Answer 1

a - decrease in the suns energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

although the other options do discuss climate, temperature, etc., the sun DIRECTLY influences the earth's climate and would most likely affect it on a larger scale. for example, warm and cold ocean currents would affect the temperature of the ocean and could touch bay cities or islands, but they would not dictate the overall climate of the earth :)

♡ hopefully my reply helped you come to an answer~ please keep in mind that my response is purely that... MY response! i still have lots to learn, so please correct/educate me if you have found otherwise ♡

Answer 2

D- Release of dust during volcanic eruption

Step-by-step explanation:

During major explosive eruptions huge amounts of volcanic gas, aerosol droplets, and ash are injected into the stratosphere. Injected ash falls rapidly from the stratosphere -- most of it is removed within several days to weeks -- and has little impact on climate change. But volcanic gases like sulfur dioxide can cause global cooling, while volcanic carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, has the potential to promote global warming.
