The Little Ice Age - Understanding Climate and Climate Change #9
Free LessonWhat Students DoStudents receive data about tree ring records, solar activity, and volcanic eruptions during the Little Ice Age (1350-1850). By comparing and contrasting time intervals when tree growth was at a minimum, solar activity was low, and major volcanic eruptions occurred, they draw conclusions about possible naturalcauses of climate change.
