7739362064broadleaf evergreen plantsPlants that keep most of their broad leaves year-round. An example is the trees found in the canopies of tropical rain forests. Compare broadleaf deciduous plants, coniferous evergreen plants.2
7739362065climatePhysical properties of the troposphere of an area based on analysis of its weather records over a long period (at least 30 years). The two main factors determining an area's climate are its average temperature, with its seasonal variations, and the average amount and distribution of precipitation. Compare weather.3
7739362066coniferous evergreen plantsCone-bearing plants (such as spruces, pines, and firs) that keep some of their narrow, pointed leaves (needles) all year. Compare broadleaf deciduous plants, broad-leaf evergreen plants.4
7739362067coniferous treesCone-bearing trees, mostly evergreens, that have needle-shaped or scalelike leaves. They produce wood known commercially as softwood. Compare deciduous plants.5

7739362069elevationDistance above sea level.7

It can result in climate change that can last for decades to thousands of years. See greenhouse effect, greenhouse gases, natural greenhouse effect.8

Water vapor, carbon dioxide, ozone, and other gases in the lower atmosphere (troposphere) absorb some of the infrared radiation (heat) radiated by the earth's surface. Their molecules vibrate and transform the absorbed energy into longer-wavelength infrared radiation in the troposphere. If the atmospheric concentrations of these greenhouse gases increase and other natural processes do not remove them, the average temperature of the lower atmosphere will increase. Compare global warming.10
7739362073latitudeDistance from the equator. Compare altitude.11
7739362074ocean currentsMass movements of surface water produced by prevailing winds blowing over the oceans.12
