Causal chains

Prof. Matti Saarnisto (Geology)

Climate change
⇐ differences in global heat transfer

⇐ changes in ocean streams
⇐ movement of tectonic plates (1-40Ma)

⇐ weather changes

⇐ shifting of airflows
⇐ creation of mountain chains
⇐ movement of tectonic plates (1-40Ma)

⇐ Reduction of CO2 in atmosphere through disintegration

⇐ creation of mountain chains
⇐ movement of tectonic plates (1-40Ma)

⇐ differences in global heat transfer

⇐ changes in ocean streams
⇐ melting rate of glaciers
⇐ sun energy impact on earth
⇐ changes in earth's orbit (10-1000ka)

⇐ differences in global heat transfer

⇐ changes in ocean streams
⇐ melting rate of glaciers
⇐ sun energy impact on earth
⇐ earth's inclination (10-1000ka)
