Question

Which of these affect Earth’s climate over a shorter period of time?(1 point)
Responses

changes in orbital shape
changes in orbital shape

changes in ocean currents
changes in ocean currents

changes in solar output
changes in solar output

changes in Earth’s tilt
changes in Earth's tilt

Answer 1

Among the options provided, "changes in ocean currents" have a more immediate and shorter-term effect on Earth's climate.

While changes in orbital shape, solar output, and Earth's tilt can influence climate, they typically do so over much longer timescales. Ocean currents can rapidly influence weather patterns and climate variability.
