of continents between 20o and 40o north and south of the equator. Humid Subtropical climate is known for hot humid summers and mild. The rain falls throughout the year. The regularly high temperatures evaporate water‚ which causes humidity and precipitation. The high humidity in this region makes summer temperatures feel even hotter. Humid Subtropical areas usually experience strong storms such as tornadoes and hurricanes. Tropical Wet/Dry Tropical Wet/Dry is found near the equator‚ usually

thousands to millions of years ago and are dated by measuring how much uranium has decayed into thorium for each layer. For example‚ one of the world’s largest cave of speleothems is the Carlsbad Cavern in New Mexico‚ and it provides a record of precipitation for that general location. When water comes through from the ground above and into the cave‚ minerals are brought along with it‚ becoming solid mineral deposits such as stalactites‚ stalagmites‚ and flowstones. Layers accumulate over time and would

Introduction In this paper‚ I have selected water‚ one of the material cycles studied. It is not conceivable of life without water. Inquiry after inquiry to find another life on other planets is premised on the notion that if scientists can find signs of water on any planet in our universe‚ then there is the possibility of life‚ such as mars. a.What are the most considerable impacts you make? We know how the heat from the Sun leads to evaporation through rays on the oceans and seas. When water evaporates

bringing more and more air up. The Indian Ocean gets hot as well; this makes water to evaporate and making the air humid. As this humid hot air reaches the Tibetan Plateau‚ the Orographic effect occurs creating condensation‚ and therefore storms and precipitation‚ this makes the wet season. On the other hand the opposite happens during dry season. Because of the height and extent of the Tibetan Plateau‚ it acts as a mechanical barrier for upper tropospheric western winds. In addition‚ the lowering of

Weather & Climate Definitions Weather- “the state of the atmosphere with respect to heat or cold‚ wetness or dryness‚ calm or storm‚ clearness or cloudiness”. Climate – “the average course or condition of the weather at a place usually over a period of years as exhibited by temperature‚ wind velocity‚ and precipitation” Main points to remember as we learn
