Elements of weather and climate[edit] There are several elements that make up the weather and climate of a place. The major of these elements are five: temperature‚ pressure‚ wind‚ humidity and rain. Analysis of these elements can provide the basis for forecasting weather. These same elements make also the basis of climatology study‚ of course‚ within a different time scale rather than it does in meteorology. Modifying factors of weather and climate[edit] The more important are also five: latitude

countries‚ a strong increase in the demand for building cooling and air-conditioning is detected and predicted for the following decades (by a factor of 4 in 2020). The reasons for this general increase are manifold‚ such as an increase in comfort habits‚ currently still low energy costs‚ architectural trends like an increased fraction of glazed areas in buildings and last but not least lowly changing climate conditions. This rising demand for cooling and air-conditioning in buildings involves unfavourable

1. Discuss one of the skin physical properties that assigned to your group. Sweating is one of the categories of the physical properties of skin. To simulate the sweating of the skin properties‚ metals and textiles are the materials to simulate the sweating properties. One of the properties of sweating is evaporation. Evaporation involves a liquid changing to a gas. The liquid particles with high enough energy can escape from the surface of the liquid. These form a vapour above the liquid surface

The factors affecting plant yield: light level Abstract The factors affecting Zea mays‚ maize (C4) and Pisum sativa‚ or pea (C3) plant yield and growth patterns placed under shade and full sunlight were investigated. 20 plantlets placed into four vermiculite compost pots (5 from each plantlet) and submitted to fertilizer or no fertilizer. And after 4 weeks the results showed that maize grown in light with no fertilizer had a higher relative growth rate and root to shoot ratio indicating the allocation

Thunderstorm Hazards (lightening‚ hail‚ tornado‚ downpours of rain flooding‚ downbursts of air gustfronts Hurricane Hazards contain thunderstorms‚ storm surge/coastal flooding‚ high waves‚ coastal erosion 2. Describe the different types of lightning‚ how they form‚ and what happens when they strike something. Cloud-to-cloud lightening: occurs when voltage gradient within a cloud‚ or between clouds overcomes electrical resistance of air. Cloud-to-ground

Introduction Dairy Sector The dairy sector is one of the largest and most vital sectors in agriculture in The Netherlands. The dairy sector is highly specialised‚ horizontally concentrated‚ vertically integrated and increasingly international in its operation. *1 There are over 18‚000 dairy farms in The Netherlands spread out over 1.2 million hectares of grassland and corn fields (28% of the total surface area of The Netherlands). 1.47 million dairy cows produce annually nearly 12 billion kilograms

Homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment of a cell or an organism‚ despite fluctuations in the external environment of that cell or organism. The internal environment is set to function at its optimum rate - and it is dependent on variables such as body temperature‚ blood pressure and blood sugar levels. These need to be maintained despite changes in the external environment as well as the extent of activity and the diet of the organism. These variables are controlled by
