relationship between climate and one or more biomes. (10 marks). One biome which is part of the cold zone of the Earth where the latitude of the sun is from 60-90° is Tundra. Tundra is a treeless‚ level‚ or gently undulating plain characteristic of the Artic and sub-Artic regions characterised by low temperatures and short growing seasons. The polar areas between 60 and 90° latitude receive less heat from solar radiation as the angle of the sun is at a much lower angle towards the ground. The day length

CHAPTER TWO: THE EARTH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THE CONTINENTS A Continent is one of several very large landmasses on Earth. They are generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria‚ with up to seven regions commonly regarded as continents. These are: Asia‚ Africa‚ North America‚ South America‚ Antarctica‚ Europe‚ and Australia. In geology‚ continents are described by means of tectonic plates. Plate tectonics is the process and study of the movement‚ collision and division

scientific use‚ commerce‚ surveillance and tracking. This project presents a small application based on Global Positioning System. It depicts the use of GPS module/receiver to find latitude and longitude of its location. The data obtained from GPS receiver (GPGGA sentence) is processed by the microcontroller to extract its latitude and longitude values. The GPS Module has been interfaced with AT89C51 and the location values are displayed on a 16x2 LCD interface. Description How to interface GPS

mechanical and mental abilities‚ could have designed and delivered such an amazing feat. The line of longitude and the line of latitude that the Great Pyramid at Giza lies on are 31 degrees north by 31 degrees west. The ancient Egyptians could not have known this intersection when the architect designed the pyramids‚ yet the site chosen has the same number latitude and longitude. It was aliens‚ after studying the planet from afar‚ who implemented temples on this exact site. With 757 foot sides

Amazon Rainforest in Brazil Location The Amazon Rainforest is located in South America‚ south of the Equator It covers 2.1 million square miles of land. The longitude and latitude of the Amazon rainforest is longitude = 71 degrees‚ 45’ and 55”W and latitude = 15 degrees 31’ and 05”S.

“Places around the equator and those at latitude 60N are dominated by low pressure belts. Yet the weather and heat transfer processes in the two regions are very different. The weather in the equatorial region is often unchanging while that along latitude 60’N is variable.” Briefly describe the formation of low pressure belts in the two regions. Explain the different weather patterns in the two regions with reference to atmospheric circulation and movement of air masses. Discuss the heat transfer

specify a location‚ type in values for the latitude and longitude directly‚ or use the arrow keys to make adjustments in 5 increments. You should practice dragging the observer to a few locations (North Pole‚ intersection of the Prime Meridian and the Tropic of Capricorn‚ etc.). * Note how the Earth Map‚ Celestial Sphere‚ and Horizon Diagram are linked together. Grab the map cursor and slowly drag it back and forth vertically changing the observer’s latitude. Note how the observer’s location is reflected

with potential midnight sun increases the farther towards either pole one goes. Although approximately defined by the polar circles‚ in practice midnight sun can be seen as much as 90 km outside the polar circle‚ as described below‚ and the exact latitudes of the farthest reaches of midnight sun depend on topography and vary slightly year-to-year. There are no permanent human settlements south of the Antarctic Circle‚ so the countries and territories whose populations experience it are limited
