6.4 Languages 1.2 Changes in national assessment policy Scientists generally define the five components of earth's climate system to include atmosphere hydrosphere cryosphere lithosphere (restricted to the surface soils rocks and sediments) and biosphere.

Archaeological evidence oral history and historical documents can offer insights into past changes in the climate Climate change effects have been linked to the rise and also the collapse of various civilizations.

He agreed (Geography 1.4) that longitude was best determined by simultaneous observation of lunar eclipses yet he was so out of touch with the scientists of his day that he knew of no such data more recent than 500 years before (Arbela eclipse) When switching from 700 stadia per degree to 500 he (or Marinos) expanded longitude differences between cities accordingly (a point first realized by P Gosselin in 1790) resulting in serious over-stretching of the Earth's east-west scale in degrees though not distance Achieving highly precise longitude remained a problem in geography until the application of Galileo's Jovian moon method in the 18th century It must be added that his original topographic list cannot be reconstructed: the long tables with numbers were transmitted to posterity through copies containing many scribal errors and people have always been adding or improving the topographic data: this is a testimony to the persistent popularity of this influential work in the history of cartography.
