  Climate Change Climate  is  defined  as  t he average weather condition, characterized by long-term  statistics  (mean values, variances, and probabilities of extreme values)  of  typically  three decades , for the meteorological elements in a given are a . Climate change is described as the change in the climate of an area as a result of anthropogenic and natural disorders such as the depletion of the ozone layer   and the greenhouse effect. Changes in climatic conditions of an area affects species and ecosystem composition  function  directly   ( changes  in temperature, precipitation ,  water temperature, and sea level s ) and indirectly (changes in the intensity and frequency of wildfires) which has a great effect on the biodiversity of such  an  area.  Climate change is not one-sided . Both  terrestrial and marine ecosystems are vulnerable to climate changes . Species have shown modification in their morphology, physiology, and behavior due to changes in climatic variables. Huma

CLIMATE IMPACT IN NIGERIA C limate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area. Weather can change hourly, daily, monthly, and yearly. A region's weather pattern usually tracked for at least 30 years  is considered  its  climate. Source: Semantic scholar Nigeria is characterised by three distinct climate zones which are :  a tropical monsoon climate in the  south, a  tropical  s avanna climate for most of the central regions ,  and a sahelian hot and semi arid climate in the north of the country. This leads to a gradient of declining precipitation amounts from South to North. The tropical monsoon climate is   intermediate between the tropical rainforest climate and tropical  savanna  climate. The tropical monsoon climate has a very small temperature range. The temperature ranges are almost constant throughout the year . F or instance,   Warri ,  which is in the southern part of Nigeria records a maximum of 28°C(82.4°F) for it's hottest month ,  while it's lowes
