By understanding the global atmospheric circulation patterns‚ along with historical processes‚ we can see how the development of these processes has altered our understanding of the weather dynamics of the mid-latitudes. This essay will discuss the development of our understanding. It will commence with the unicellular model‚ its relationship to the three circulation cell of Hadley‚ Ferrel and the polar cell. It will then move on to explain the relationship of high

    IMPACTS OF OZONE Introduction Ozone is a gas that occurs naturally in our atmosphere. Most of it is concentrated in the ozone layer[->0]‚ a region located in the stratosphere several miles above the surface of the Earth. Although ozone represents only a small fraction of the gas present in the atmosphere‚ it plays a vital role by shielding humans and other life from harmful ultraviolet light from the Sun. Human activities in the last several decades have produced chemicals‚ such as chlorofluorocarbons

    1. What are the causes of skin cancer? Exposure to abnormally high frequencies of light can potentially alter the DNA of a cell and turn it cancerous‚ the resulting cancerous cells are known as skin cancer. The most common cause is ultraviolet light emitted by the sun although it has been known to be caused by tanning booths‚ unusually high levels of x-rays‚ exposure to some chemicals and in rare cases the abnormal genes that cause skin cancer can be inherited by children from their parents.

    geographic distribution of this characteristic that Mathiasen and Daugherty (2008) documented. What do they think this distribution tells us? Mathiasen and Daughtery documented the percent infection of different mistletoes on fir trees. Located south of latitude 44°N‚ red firs and trees that share a resemblance to noble fir were completely immune to Pacific silver fir dwarf mistletoe; however‚ trees also resembling noble fir north of 44°N were drastically parasitized by the mistletoe. Additionally‚ mountain

Though they are located in similar latitudes of the planet‚ the previously mentioned aspects affect their water budget in different and compounding ways. As classified by the Koppen Letter Code System‚ Berkeley falls in the Csa category‚ which is a mild‚ mid-latitude Mediterranean climate (Hess‚ 2013). These climates are referred to as dry summer subtropical‚ but are more generally described as Mediterranean

    receiving the Sun’s direct rays is the equator. Here‚ air is heated and rises‚ leaving low pressure areas behind. Moving to about thirty degrees north and south of the equator‚ the warm air from the equator begins to cool and sink. Between thirty degrees latitude and the equator‚ most of the cooling sinking air moves back to the equator. The rest of the air flows toward the poles. The air movements toward the equator are called trade winds- warm‚ steady breezes that blow almost continuously. The Coriolis

A region’s climate is generated by the climate system‚ which has five components: atmosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ cryosphere‚ land surface‚ and biosphere.[1] The climate of a location is affected by its latitude‚ terrain‚ and altitude‚ as well as nearby water bodies and their currents. Climates can be classified according to the average and the typical ranges of different variables‚ most commonly temperature and precipitation. The most commonly used classification

    at the polar region while it is zero at the equator region. It was observed that Hurricanes are not formed around 5 degree latitude area away from the equator. Hurricanes are known to be formed with the help of Coriolis acceleration which keeps them rotating. The Coriolis acceleration is influenced by the sine of the latitude at that region. If it is at equator‚ the latitude is zero degrees and hence sine of it is zero at the equator region. So‚ there is no possibility for the Hurricanes to be generated
