low pressure belt and the temperate low pressure zone. Though both are low pressure systems‚ their weather and heat transfer processes are very different. Their diversion can be viewed under The equatorial zones are distinguished by a hot and wet climate all year round‚ yet the temperate zones are typified by less stable areas. The temperature difference between the equator and the poles generates a circulation system which redistributes heat from low latitudes to high latitudes. The rising and

Climate is a measure of the average pattern of variation in temperature‚ humidity‚ atmospheric pressure‚ wind‚ precipitation‚ atmospheric particle count and other meteorological variables in a given region over long periods of time. Climate is different from weather‚ in that weather only describes the short-term conditions of these variables in a given region. A region’s climate is generated by the climate system‚ which has five components: atmosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ cryosphere‚ land surface‚ and biosphere

Climate Change in Developing Countries Over the past decade‚ human activity has started to cause an increased rate of negative change to our climate. Although climate change is a worldwide problem no one will feel the impact as harshly as third world countries such many parts of Africa‚ Asia‚ and South America. These countries are estimated to be hit the hardest by climate change even though they did the least to cause it. Developing countries have been struggling over the past few years on their

WHAT IS CLIMATE? Have you ever wondered why one area of the world is a desert‚ another a grassland‚ and another a rainforest? Why are there different forests and deserts‚ and why are there different types of life in each area? It is because of Climate. Climate is the characteristic condition of the atmosphere near the earth’s surface at a certain place on earth. It is the long-term weather of that area (for at least 30 years). This includes the region’s general pattern of weather conditions

Thus‚ any impartial jury should not come back with a “guilty” verdict convicting humanity of forcing recent climatological changes. Even the most ardent supporters of global warming will not argue this point. Instead‚ they argue that humans are only partially responsible for the observed climate change. If one takes a hard look at the science involved‚ their assertions appear to be groundless

The climate in Egypt is generally moderate; it is mostly hot or warm during the day‚ and cool at night. In the coastal regions‚ daytime average temperatures range between a minimum 140C in winter and maximum 300C in summer. In deserts the temperatures vary considerably‚ especially in summer; when they may range from 7°C at night‚ to 52 °C during the day. While the winter temperatures in deserts do not fluctuate so wildly‚ they can be as low as 0 °C at night‚ and as high as 18 °C during the day. Egypt

NOTES: The word is divided into 6 climate zones. These zones depend on several factors. The first is temperature; if a country lies near the equator it tends to be hot; but if it’s near the poles it tends to be colder. A country can also have a cold climate if it’s very mountainous with most of its land sitting well above sea level. Wind direction can also influence climate. If winds are being blow from a hot area they will raise temperatures‚ the opposite is also true. If winds have been blown
