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

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

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 …

ACSPH014

Scientific knowledge can enable scientists to offer valid explanations and make reliable predictions

ACSPH015

Scientific knowledge can be used to develop and evaluate projected economic, social and environmental impacts and to design action for sustainability

ACSPH016

Heat transfer occurs between and within systems by conduction, convection and/or radiation

ACSPH017
