reaction paper for the article: TROPICAL CYCLONES ‘LIKELY TO INTENSIFY’ According to the article‚ Tropical cyclones hitting East Asia have grown increasingly fierce in the past 30 years and are likely to intensify further with global warming. Noticeable increases of greenhouse gases over the globe could influence rising sea surface temperature and change large-scale atmospheric circulation in the Western North Pacific‚ which could enhance the intensity of tropical cyclones hitting land over East

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.0. Soil – transmitted helminths Soil–transmitted helminths (STHs) are included in the list of the world’s neglected tropical diseases (Molyneux et al.‚ 2005). STHs are major public health problem especially in the developing nations. The species of soil-transmitted helminths that infect humans are concentrated in the developing world‚ and these include the large roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides‚ the whipworm Trichuris trichiura‚ and the hookworm Ancylostoma duodenale

How Acid Rain Affects Organisms in Aquatic Biomes Through the advancement of technology‚ the issue of the air surrounding the earth might have been one of the most often matters to be brought up and discussed among scientists and engineers. Acid rain is one of the more serious environmental problems and it is closely related to the air pollution. Nowadays‚ it has affected large part of US‚ Europe and Canada. People start to be concerned about acid rain since it is getting worse in the passed

and family members. Keywords: dengue‚ geriatric‚ appetite‚ anorexia‚ weakness‚ absent fever Introduction: Dengue is caused by the Dengue Virus (den1-4)‚ which is a Flavivirus (RNA)‚ spread via the Aedes aegypti mosquito. It is prevalent in the tropical climate countries‚ as the environment is ideal for breeding mosquitoes. Approximately 100 million people are affected by dengue yearly‚ making it the leading cause of illness and death worldwide [1]. Its effects range from asymptomatic to death

Outline the relationship between climate and one or more biomes. Arctic tundra is a biome characterized by cold weather and low growing plants and shrubs and virtually no trees. They are found mainly in regions just below the Arctic ice caps‚ located at latitudes 55o to 70o North‚ across North America‚ Europe‚ Alaska‚ Canada and Siberia. They cover 20% of the earth’s surface. The summer season is short‚ where there are brief periods when the sun shines for almost 24 hours a day and temperatures

1.The average temperature contrast between winter and summer is greater for continental polar air than for maritime tropical air. Explain why. Maritime tropical air is very warm and humid because its source regions are tropical and subtropical seas. This air mass retains these properties year-round and is responsible for oppressive summer heat and humidity east of the Rocky Mountains. Dry continental polar air develops over the northern interior of North America. In winter‚ continental polar air

To what extent can preparedness mitigate the impacts of tropical revolving storms? (40 marks) Tropical revolving storms can be referred to as Hurricanes‚ cyclones and Typhoons these occur in the Atlantic‚ Indian and pacific oceans. Nobody is quite sure how they form but certain factors do need to be met for one to form. One of these is the temperature of the sea which has to be above 28degrees‚ the water also has to be deep beneath the storm‚ this is how the storm gathers its energy. These storms

To what extent can preparedness and planning mitigate the effects of tropical revolving storms? (40 marker) A tropical revolving storm is a term that covers hurricanes‚ tropical cyclones‚ typhoons and willy-willies. These intense low-pressure weather systems are associated with catastrophic wind speeds averaging at 120kmph and torrential rainfall. Tropical revolving storms are huge and extremely violent extending to about 500km in diameter. They occur in the tropics and the sub-tropics and form

(a) explain why the regions of the world that receive the most direct sunlight contain tropical rain forests I high amount of direct sunlight in this area yields the warmest temperatures. Hadley cells are driven by the direct sunlight as well. This region is in the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ)‚ which is at the convergence of two Hadley cells. This is where air rises due to direct solar radiation‚ which causes water vapor to fall back to Earth as rain. (b) explain why there would be large
