coming decades will lead to irreversible climate change and alter the face of the planet. The earth as we know it is a unique planet composed of global masses of air‚ land and sea. Each body interacts with each other in unique physical and biochemical ways and minute changes in one mass can lead to irreversible changes to another. Climatology is that scientific endeavour that monitors climate systems to explain loss of polar ice. The variables impacting climate and polar ice and their delicate relative

On the other hand‚ people living out on the remote islands do not necessarily have the same consumer habits and desires‚ and are very happy to lead the life of a fisherman for example‚ just like their ancestors. Japan has four climates throughout the year. Hokkaido‚ the northern-most island‚ has a yearly average temperature of 8 degrees. The island is world-renowned for its ski resorts‚ with Niseko being the most famous. In 2007‚ 24‚000 foreign tourists visited the resort alone

Essay #1 Climate‚ Weather‚ and Meteorology are often used interchangeably‚ however they all mean very different things. Climate and Weather are very similar in that they are talking about the same things just at different times. Meteorology is nothing like these two it is much more. It uses both to make up itself. All of these terms fall under the same category of weather and how it is perceived whether it be current‚ over a period of time‚ or the study of both. Weather is something we all experience

This paper argues that climatic responsive design could directly be seen as significant architectural language for defining local architecture by research and design. The tropical principle illustrated an accurate prediction of controlling‚ filtering and responding to outdoor climate.

Weather: The day-to-day variations in temperature‚ air-pressure‚ wind‚ humidity‚ and precipitation meditated by the atmosphere in a given region.

Meteorology – the scientific study of the atmosphere Convection Currents – (vertical movement of air due to atmospheric heating and cooling) bring us day-to-day changes in our weather as they

There are two types of rainforest biomes: tropical and temperate. Tropical rainforests are found near the equator and are moist and hot all year round. The climate in this biome is very humid‚ maintaining a high humidity of 77% to 88% all year round‚ due to the frequent rainfall. The rainfall is all year round and receive annual precipitation amounts from 60 to 160 inches. There is little to no seasonal changes in weather. The average temperature in tropical rainforests range from 70 to 85°F (21

Weather and Climate Before we begin‚ let’s differentiate between weather and climate. Weather is the state of your local atmosphere at any given time‚ in terms of such measurements as temperature‚ wind speed‚ air pressure‚ precipitation‚ etc. Weather is very specific - it’s about a particular place
