    geosphere (rocks, soils, and sediments).All these factors influence the changes in the movement of heat on the environment, which leads to climate change. The oceans and lakes absorb carbon (IV) oxide, and the atmosphere is where the different gasses mix. Global climate change is the change in the typical pattern of the climates already established in various environment zones, for instances increase in the length…
