bub Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a given time and place‚ with respect to variables such as temperature‚ moisture‚ wind velocity‚ and barometric pressure. Weather can be classified as day to day temperature and precipitation activity‚ where climiate is average atmospheric conditions over longer periods of time. Weather occurs from temperature and moisture differences between one place and another. These differences can occur due to the sun angle at any particular spot. The strong

Through the eyes of most scientists‚ global warming is seen as a very serious and severe threat. The actions taken by humans‚ such as industry and consumption of fossil fuels plus the increase in population and agriculture have played a big part in global warming. If something is not done soon the results could be very bad. By the middle of the twenty first century‚ there is evidence that the Earth will be warmer than it has been at any time in human history‚ and quite possibly since the

Global Atmospheric Circulation This essay will describe patterns of atmospheric heating and circulation. When the surface air reaches the Equator‚ it gets heated and rises to the top of the troposphere‚ where it spreads back toward the poles. When it gets to the poles‚ it descends back to the surface again to complete the cycle. The heat of the Sun causes water to evaporate from lakes‚ rivers and oceans‚ as well as from the leaves of plants called (transpiration). But this water

EARTH SURFACE REALMS 2And3 We can look at Earth’s surficial "layers" as being comprised of several major realms or "geospheres": the atmosphere‚ lithosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ biosphere and pedosphere. The reference to "sphere" applies because Earth is spherical‚ and hence layers around it form somewhat spherical shells at the outermost edges of the solid planet. The atmosphere‚ biosphere and lithosphere more completely encircle Earth‚ while the hydrosphere and pedosphere tend to be more discontinuous

INDIA PHYSICAL FEATURES Geographical Set Up: India takes its standard time from the meridian of 82 30 E‚ which is 5 ½ hours ahead of Greenwich Mean time ( 0 longitude).Pakistan time is 5 hours ahead of GMT and Bangladesh time is 6 hours ahead of GMT. Significance of Location: Barring the plateau of Baluchistan (which form part of Pakistan)‚ the two great ranges of Sulaiman and Kirthar cut it off from the west. Along the north‚ the great mountain wall formed by the Hindukush‚ Karakoram and

Climates and Oceans- 1. With coastal climates‚ the locations are on the windward side‚ meaning the weather patterns move from the ocean to land‚ giving them mild summers and cool winters. This means that there isn’t a very large temperature range for coastal climates. Inland climates are more of the land heating and cooling‚ because they heat to high temperatures in the day and then cool a great amount at night. Also‚ the weather patterns are moving from land to water‚ creating warmer summers and

are known as hailstorms. Thunderstorms may line up in a series or rainband‚ known as a squall line. Strong or severe thunderstorms may rotate‚ known as a supercell. While most thunderstorms move with the mean wind flow through the layer of the troposphere that they occupy‚ vertical wind shear causes a deviation in their course at a right angle to the wind shear direction. Thunderstorms and the phenomena that occur along with them‚ pose great hazards to populations and landscapes. Damage that results
