Which are examples of long-term environmental change? Check all that apply.

Long-term environmental changes develop over geologic time or persistently alter Earth’s conditions. Mountain building and ice ages are major, long-lasting changes, and changes in solar energy reaching Earth can drive climate over long periods. Forest fires and flooding are usually short-term events, while small asteroid and comet impacts are generally treated as sudden events rather than long-term environmental change.
