Factors that can shape climate are called climate forcings or "forcing mechanisms". These include processes such as variations in solar radiation variations in the Earth's orbit variations in the albedo or reflectivity of the continents atmosphere and oceans mountain-building and continental drift and changes in greenhouse gas concentrations There are a variety of climate change feedbacks that can either amplify or diminish the initial forcing Some parts of the climate system such as the oceans and ice caps respond more slowly in reaction to climate forcings while others respond more quickly There are also key threshold factors which when exceeded can produce rapid change.
