geologist to calculate the origin of the glacier within 10 degrees of the equator. However‚ some sceptic believes this is not conclusive evidence as they question the accuracy of the data because Earth’s magnetic has changed during the course of time and the continental drift has now become dipolar. We are able to come to a conclusion that the data collected do indicate that the Marinoan glaciation was very close to the equator therby giving us an idea of the temperatures of the warmest regions of the

Shanequa Miller Weather and climate are two similar but different things. Weather is the short term properties of the troposphere at a given place and time. We see everyday how weather works. Climate is the average long term weather of an area. The earth’s climate has warmed and cooled since long before we came onto the scene. Climate lasts longer then weather. Weather can come and go quickly when climate will only change a little at a time. Does weather impact our climate and environment? That’s

september‚ we experience the equinoxes. This is when the sun rises in the east on the equator and sets in the west directly on the equator. This is when the sunlight is most direct on the equator. After the March equinox the sun will begin to appear like it is rising and setting more to the north. In late June‚ the summer solstice‚ the sun appear highest in the sky and began to move back south toward the equator. After the september equinox the sun will appear to move south‚ until late December‚ the

the second is located at 180 degrees and separates two calendar dates. The equator‚ the tropic of cancer and the tropic of Capricorn are the three most important lines of latitude. The Equator is located at o degrees latitude and divides the planet into the north and south hemispheres‚ while the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn are located at 23.5 degrees north of the equator and 23.5 degrees south of the equator respectively. It would be impossible to

Latitude and Longitude both affect the weather and the temperature. The weather and temperature also affects us. The farther away from the equator the more extreme the weather is going to be. For latitude the closer you are to the equator the hotter it will be. The farther away you are from the equator the colder it will be. The region near the equator affects the most sun because of the shape of the Earth. The light also has to penetrate through less of the atmosphere to reach Earth’s surface

Metaphase I - paired chromosomes line up along the equator of a cell‚ the metaphase plate as the spindle microtubulue apparatus pulls them. • Anaphase I - The spindle microtubules pull homologous chromosomes to opposite sides of the cell‚ causing them to separate. • Telophase I - The spindle microtubule appartus begins to disappear/disintegreate‚ the nucleus membrane reforms around chromosomes • Cytokenesis I - The cell divides along the equator‚ creating 2 haploid daughter cells A brief period

Climate variations around the plant do mostly occur due to latitude and the tri-cell model. A large amount of the variations takes place when the ITCZ (inter-tropical convergence zone) is overhead the equator. The Hadley cell is the most distinctive out of the three cells. As when it is at the equator the sun heats the ground‚ causing the air to rise and create low-pressure zones on this area of the earths surface. Now this is were the ITCZ is formed‚ when the low pressure has the warm air cools and
