scientific processes that affect climate change. The Milankovitch cycles explain the rotation movements of Earth. One such cycle was that of the Earth’s orbit; the other two cycles concerned the movement and shift of Earth’s axis. These cycles have a significant effect on climate change since they can cause Earth’s temperature to either rise or fall by 9 degrees Fahrenheit. Another
Zoos are supposed to be safe places for animals, so why are they forgetting the little guys? A new study published in Conservation Biology says zoos aren't doing enough to protect the world's most endangered amphibians. And that needs to change.

threatened of being so. The death of the last Golden Toad in 1999 (Bufo periglenes) in Central America marked the first documented species extinction due to the rapid climate variation. Climate change is referred to as a change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns, which lasts for an extended period of time, that is usually decades to millions of years. The climate
