First off‚ certain famous ocean currents have well-known effects on climate. Consider the Gulf Stream. The climate in Northwestern Europe (the UK especially) is much more mild than it is directly across the Atlantic in Canada and the Northeastern US. There can be up to a 30-40 degree (Fahrenheit) air temperature difference in January between these two areas. The Atlantic Ocean near Canada is locked in ice in winter but the Atlantic Ocean near England is not. It is thought that the huge temperature

of the gases absorb at least some heat. 5. The variations in the intensity of the sunlight can cause temperature differences on Earth’s surface because of the concentrated sunlight of the equator which makes the surface warm and at the higher latitudes‚ where of course the sunlight spreads over a way larger and the area of the surface is at a cool temperature. 6. The process of conduction is the transfer of the energy as the heat through a material. Therefore‚ convection is the movement of matter

if he had had access to modern navigational techniques and technology‚ the organization and outcome of his voyages would have been vastly different. Methods of elucidating longitude in Columbus’s time were nonexistent‚ and those for determining latitude could be deeply flawed. Thus‚ given the defective nature of the technology Columbus employed on his voyages‚ during which he hoped to discover a new pathway from Europe to Asia‚ both the planning and execution of his mission led to him encountering

for every one chlorine atom that is released into the ozone layer‚ 100000 ozone molecules are destroyed. According to the statistics recorded in 1979‚ the ozone layer has decreased every single decade nearly 4% to 6% in mid-latitudes and 10% to 12% in higher southern latitudes. This constant decrease has left the ozone layer permanently damaged. Even though production of CFCs has drastically decreased over the past couple of years‚ the ozone layer is unable replace itself.

They reached the Great Ice Barrier‚ where a team of three made the first sledge journey on the Barrier surface‚ during which a new Farthest South record latitude was established at 78°50′S. On its return to England the expedition was coolly received by London’s geographical establishment which was resentful of the pre-emption of a role they envisaged for their own National Antarctic (Discovery) Expedition

Environmental determinism‚ also known as climatic determinism or geographical determinism‚ is the view that the physical environment sets limits on human environment. Historiography [edit] Origins [edit] Environmental determinism’s origins go back to antiquity‚ where it is first encountered in a fifth-century medical treatise ascribed to Hippocrates: Airs‚ Waters‚ Places.[1] In Roman times it is‚ for example‚ found in the work of the Greek geographer Strabo who wrote that climate influences the

The first line in the poem states “we came to unexpected latitudes.” Define latitude‚ because not only is it used in geographic terms‚ it is used to describe freedom from narrow restrictions and opinions that slaves had to endure.

is you need to use the formula Efficiency = (energy out as electricity / energy in as light). When you need to figure out the perfect angle for the solar panel‚ you need to find the angle of your latitude. If your latitude was a negative value‚ you want to face your solar panels north. If your latitude is a positive value‚ orientate your panels south. Solar panels have a great impact on society.
