This work develops a study of the variation of the temperature in the last 10 years, data that are extracted from the data base of the CERES-SCOOL project of the NASA that tries to look for answers to the presence of natural phenomena related to the clouds and The terrestrial radiant energy system, which has detected variations in the earth's surface, such as the increase of 0.55 ° C, in the year 2011. These effects are frequently associated with human behaviors that deteriorate the natural resources affecting the ecological balance, if Has hypothesized in these investigations that temperature fluctuations of the oceans may lead to very strong climatic changes such as: The phenomenon of the Child and the Girl that originate in the Pacific Ocean. Although this is a reality that touches all the inhabitants, it is necessary that the young students investigate the subject, take ownership of the situation and try to propose solutions from their capabilities through this work that through a statistical analysis from its base Data that began in 2006 and is still in force to date, will record information concerning the coverage and types of clouds, temperature, relative humidity, characteristics that determine the climate in the region and thus create a mathematical model that allows us to predict the In order to be prepared for a possible attack of nature, we will use tables of frequencies and graphs that allow us to know the relation of factors that determine climate change, it is expected to find a relation between the variation of the temperature during a period of time and To contrast this data with other investigations carried out by authors specialized in the subject.
