and explain the seasonal variations in climate in a tropical region (10 marks) The seasonal variations in climate‚ in a tropical region‚ which includes temperature‚ precipitation and wind direction‚ are due to a number of factors. The tropical continental climate in Africa‚ north of the equator‚ can be described as transitional‚ as it is between the rainforest margins of the central African rainforest and also the desert

1) Which of the six colors of the rainbow is refracted the greatest? Out of the 7 colors of the rainbow‚ Violet is refracted the greatest. 2) What is a mirage and why does it always disappear as the observer gets closer? A mirage is a naturally occurring optical phenomenon in which light rays are bent to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky. Mirages appear at very low viewing angles‚ when you are far away. As you approach‚ the viewing angle increases and the mirage disappears

Gravimetric Determination of Iron as Fe2O3 Laboratory Experiment 2 February 19‚ 2013 Abstract: In the Gravimetric determination is the measurement of mass in two different forms precipitation and volatilization. In our experiment we will be using the precipitation form which isolates an ion in a solution by a precipitation reaction‚ filtering‚ purifying by wash method‚ conversion to product of known composition‚ and final weigh of the product comparing the mass difference of theorictal and actual

CAUSES OF GLOBAL WARMING: Global warming also causes sea surface temperatures to rise‚ precipitation patterns to change‚ etc.. (NASA‚ 2002) Global warming can have many different causes‚ but it is most commonly associated with human interference‚ specifically the release of excessive amounts of greenhouse gases. (EPA‚ 2006) Global warming is caused by excessive quantities of greenhouse gases emitted into Earth’s near-surface atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are both man-made and occur naturally

moving along three-dimensional zones of temperature and moisture contrasts known as weather fronts. If enough moisture and upward motion is present‚ precipitation falls from convective clouds (those with strong upward vertical motion) such ascumulonimbus (thunder clouds) which can organize into narrow rainbands. In mountainous areas‚ heavy precipitation is possible where upslope flow is maximized within windward sides of the terrain at elevation which forces moist air to condense and fall out as rainfall

overview of how Beijing’s weather and climate is currently. Average temperature in January is -7o to -4o C‚ while average temperatures in July are at 25o to 26 °C. Highest temperature ever recorded is 42°C and lowest recorded is -27°C. Annual precipitation is over 600 mm‚ with 75% of that in summer. Beijing is located in a high pressure area. Under the scorching sun in summer‚ heavy rainstorms also sees to occur late in the season. The city’s climate is a monsoon-influenced

Tundras winters are long and cold and there is little sunlight. Summers are short but warm. These short summers lead to a short growing period for plants. The Arctic tundra may receive little precipitation as some deserts. Yearly precipitation is 15 to 25 cm (6 to 10 inches). In the tundra
