El Niño & La Niña It should be recognized that the strong weather pattern called El-Nino-Southern Oscillation‚ or ENSO‚ is unfortunately an unavoidable occurrence. This weather formation is known as an essential process for maintaining long-term global climate stability throughout the year. El Nino and La Nina‚ two phenomenal and impacting events‚ generally occur in the ocean surface temperature across the central and eastern tropical Pacific. However these two weather extremes are two entirely

noon‚ the Sun is high above the horizon—the Sun’s angle is greater‚ and so insolation is higher. The seasonal pattern of daily insolation provides a convenient way to divide the globe into broad latitude zones. The equatorial zone encompasses the Equator and covers the latitude belt roughly 10° north to 10° south. Here the Sun provides intense insolation throughout most of the year‚ and days and nights are of roughly equal length. Spanning the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are the tropical zones

Tropical evergreen forest Tropical forests are characterized by the greatest diversity of species. They occur near the equator‚ within the area bounded by latitudes 23.5 degrees N and 23.5 degrees S. One of the major characteristics of tropical forests is their distinct seasonality: winter is absent‚ and only two seasons are present (rainy and dry). An evergreen forest is a forest consisting entirely or mainly of evergreen trees that retain green foliage all year round. Such forests reign the tropics

Air Navigation - The Pilot/Navigator All air navigation involves basic principles that apply to all aeroplanes‚ from the simplest trainer to the most sophisticated passenger jets. These basic principles are discussed in this manual. Since The Air Pilot’s Manual is a training programme for the Private Pilot’s Licence (PPL)‚ we will concentrate on accurate navigation of a light aircraft‚ flown by a single pilot‚ in visual conditions. PPL holders‚ when flying cross-country‚ act as pilot‚ navigator

ESSAY ON HURRICANES Hurricanes get their start over the warm tropical waters of the North Atlantic Ocean near the equator. Most hurricanes appear in late summer or early fall‚ when sea temperatures are at their highest. Hurricanes only form over really warm ocean water of 80°F or warmer. The atmosphere (the air) must cool off very quickly the higher you go. Also‚ the wind must be blowing in the same direction and at the same speed to force air upward from the ocean surface. Winds flow outward
