A mutation is any change in the number or structure of a chromosome. The image you see here shows damaged DNA. There are several possible causes of mutations, such as radiation damage or chemical exposure. Sometimes, segments or entire chromosomes are deleted and not passed on to the new cell. Other times, the patterns are mixed up or made backwards. All of these mutations cause changes in normal patterns and result in new chromosome formations.

Leads to seasonal patterns, when the earth is tilted to the northern hemisphere its summer and when the earth is tiled to the south, its winter.

Results in some of the atmosphere to be warmer than other parts, it changes in volume and pressure which results in strong weather.

As wind or ocean current moves, the Earth spins underneath it.

Melting of the ice mass at the poles, which causes rising sea level, producing flooding and endangering coastal habitats

Shock waves, heat radiation, the formation of craters with associated earthquakes, and tsunamis if water bodies are hit or caused by the earthquakes.

jeopardizing latitude, water elevation, ocean currents, topography, most habitats, and prevailing winds.
