Solar radiation when it enters the atmosphere is obstructed from reaching earth in three ways; 1) Absorption - gases such as oxygen, ozone, and water vapor tend to absorb solar radiation which cause certain atmospheric layers to increase in temperature. 2) Reflection - gases and cloud cover reflects ...

Tectonic–climatic interaction
Tectonic–climatic interaction is the interrelationship between tectonic processes and the climate system. The tectonic processes in question include orogenesis, volcanism, and erosion, while relevant climatic processes include atmospheric circulation, orographic lift, monsoon circulation and the rain shadow effect. As the geological record of past climate changes over millions of years is sparse and poorly resolved, many questions remain unresolved regarding the nature of tectonic-climate interaction, although it is an area of active research by geologists and palaeoclimatologists.
