How do natural disasters affect climate change?
Depends on the disaster.
For instance, 1816 is remembered as the year without a summer. It was a true agricultural worldwide calamity, with the cause thought to have been an 1815 volcanic eruption in Indonesia.
After the Krakatoa volcano erupted in 1883, the average global temperature dropped by more than 1 degree the following year.

Natural disasters can contribute to climate change through various mechanisms such as releasing greenhouse gases, altering land surfaces, and impacting ecosystems. For example, events like wildfires and volcanic eruptions can release significant amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Deforestation, which can be exacerbated by natural disasters like hurricanes and tsunamis, reduces the Earth's ability to absorb carbon dioxide, further exacerbating climate change. Additionally, changes in land use and destruction of natural habitats can disrupt ecosystems and lead to changes in local and regional climates.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- What is the difference between a biome and an ecosystem?
- How are food webs and energy pyramids related?
- How would you describe the trophic levels in a typical ecosystem? Discuss the flow of energy through the ecosystem, the relationship between the different trophic levels, and the factors that limit the number of trophic levels.
- What are mountain biomes? I need to know about mountain altitudes, their temperatures, and a food web for the animals that live in the mountain biome?
- How do changes to a lower trophic level (ex. a decrease in producers) affect a higher trophic level? How do changes to higher trophic levels (ex. increase in secondary consumers) affect lower trophic levels?
