‘Low pressure atmospheric systems have more of a short term impact than high pressure systems.’ Discuss. Low pressure atmospheric systems are also known as depressions or cyclones and they form in mid- and high-latitudes. They are formed by the mixing of cold and warm air‚ the warm air is lighter‚ so it rises above the denser‚ cold air and forms a centre of low pressure. High pressure atmospheric systems are also known as anticyclones and have very different characteristics to depressions. Anticyclones

Steam Generators A steam generator generates steam at the desired rate at the desired pressure and temperature by running fuel in its furnace (used in both fossil-fuel and nuclear-fuel electric generating power stations). It is a complex integration of furnace‚ superheater‚ reheater‚ boiler or evaporator‚ economizer and air preheater along with various auxiliaries such as pulverizers‚ burners‚ fans‚ stokers‚ dust collectors and precipitators‚ ash handling equipment and chimney/stack.

HURRICANE SANDY Hurricane Sandy was a tropical cyclone that devastated portions of the Caribbean‚ Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States in late October 2012. The eighteenth named storm and tenth hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season‚ Sandy was the largest Atlantic hurricane on record‚ as measured by diameter‚ with winds spanning 1‚100 miles. Sandy is estimated in early calculations to have caused damage of at least $20 billion. Preliminary estimates of losses that include business

Strange Clouds By: Amanda Oliver 02/03/13 Professor Sherry Queen Pad 17F Have you ever looked up into the sky and wondered why the clouds vary from shapes of dinosaurs‚ birds‚ a puff of cotton candy‚ or your neighbor’s face? Clouds take all kinds of different shapes‚ and as they roll across the sky they change. In meteorology‚ a cloud is a visible mass of liquid droplets or frozen crystals made of water or various chemicals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body

being migration and the issues of over population. Many of the people of the people of Bangladesh have to migrate and move to new areas that are suffering from the same situation they are in ‘’Dhaka each day‚ fleeing river flooding in the north and cyclones in the south. Many of them end up living in the densely populated slum of Korai. And with hundreds of thousands of such migrants already‚ Dhaka is in no shape to take in new residents. It’s already struggling to provide the most basic services and

slim until the 20th century and is the subject of ongoing research. Many early geological‚ geographical‚ and oceanographic texts refer to tsunamis as "seismic sea waves." Some meteorological conditions‚ such as deep depressions that cause tropical cyclones‚ can generate a storm surge‚ called a meteotsunami‚ which can raise tides several metres above normal levels. The displacement comes from low atmospheric pressure within the centre of the depression. As these storm surges reach shore‚ they may resemble
