The tropical monsoon climate is found in those regions where there is a complete seasonal reversal of winds. It is mainly found beyond the equatorial region between 10° and 25° North and South of the Equator. On-shore summer winds blowing from over tropical warm oceans generate the abundant precipitation‚ while the off-shore winds from over land make the weather dry during winter. The most clearly defined monsoon climates are located in the coastal areas of the eastern and southern Asia. For example

Shanequa Miller Weather and climate are two similar but different things. Weather is the short term properties of the troposphere at a given place and time. We see everyday how weather works. Climate is the average long term weather of an area. The earth’s climate has warmed and cooled since long before we came onto the scene. Climate lasts longer then weather. Weather can come and go quickly when climate will only change a little at a time. Does weather impact our climate and environment? That’s a

The awareness of local weather and climate is necessary in our daily lives. Weather and climate affects the decision that we make every day. The weather forecast warns our local farmers‚ aircraft and maritime operations‚ the local government and other agencies and institutions for daily precaution and disaster preparedness. This topic introduces the definition of weather and climate‚ followed by the description and factors that affect our local weather and climate and how these factors are measured

Simple Persuasion Devices Al Gore Jr. was the forty-fifth vice president of the U.S. and is well-known for his environmental advocacy work and his famous writings on environmental issues (Weisser‚ 2015‚ pg. 101). In his article “Climate of Denial‚” he passionately describes how the world is very uneducated on the environmental issues of today. This article was originally published in a Rolling Stone magazine‚ and therefore his audience was directed towards a group of mainstream young adults. This

The earth then absorbs the solar radiation and then after that it will be change into heat‚ which will be suck back into the atmosphere. Conduction and turbulent eddies are other ways that heat raises back into the atmosphere. All heat being transported upward towards the atmosphere 2. What causes air pressure? Is there air pressure on

The climate of the British Isles is said to be both temperate and maritime‚ discuss. The British Isles located at 54◦N has historically had very unstable and hard to predict weather patterns due its location where five significantly different air masses converge and with influences from the Sub-polar Jet stream and North Atlantic Drift. Along with the additional complication of global warming potentially causing more extreme weather‚ meteorologists have been unable to agree on whether the UK has

Why climate change is good for the world Don’t panic! The scientific consensus is that warmer temperatures do more good than harm Climate change has done more good than harm so far and is likely to continue doing so for most of this century. This is not some barmy‚ right-wing fantasy; it is the consensus of expert opinion. Yet almost nobody seems to know this. Good news is no news‚ which is why the mainstream media largely ignores all studies showing net benefits of climate change. And academics

Topic: “There is nothing that we as individuals can do to prevent climate change”. During last several decades‚ industrialization and human activities have produced greenhouse gases (mainly carbon dioxide). These gases make the earth’s temperature higher that leads to more serious events‚ such as ice smelting‚ floods‚ storms and droughts. This is called “climate change”. Climate change would have significant impacts on environment‚ economy and the way we live so it needs to be prevented. In my

4 ºC to 0.8 ºC. Recent studies show that the average surface temperature of the earth is likely to increase by 1.1°C to 6.4 °C by the end of the 21 century‚ with best estimate of 1.8 - 4.0 °C. The human activities such as land use/land cover changes‚ deforestation‚ draining of wet lands tend to alter the albedo of the earth surface which in turn influence the variations in the microclimatic elements such as rainfall‚ temperature‚ humidities‚ etc. Further‚ the process of urbanization creates
