Explain why global climate models typically work by treating the planet as a set of connected boxes.

Answer and Explanation:

Global climate models (GCM) are mathematical models used to predict long-term climatic conditions. This includes the interaction between the atmosphere, oceans, sea ice, and the land surface.

GCM work by treating the planet as a set of connected boxes because this computational model divides the planet into a set of connected grid cells that are also called "boxes" as it is very hard to calculate the climatic conditions for each square meter. These connected boxes are analyzed individually and used to improve specificity when working with climatic predictions and the global climate models can be converted into regional climate models to study regions individually.

they are both the same distance away from the equator and from the poles. both circles are at 66 1/2 degrees. also they both form imaginary line borders of polar regions.

a characteristic is a deep cut in the earth or left over rock aka till.
