regions where there is a complete seasonal reversal of winds. It is mainly found beyond the equatorial region between 10° and 25° North and South of the Equator. On-shore summer winds blowing from over tropical warm oceans generate the abundant precipitation‚ while the off-shore winds from over land make the weather dry during winter. The most clearly defined monsoon climates are located in the coastal areas of the eastern and southern Asia. For example‚ India‚ Burma‚ Bangladesh‚ Indochina‚ Southern

thousands to millions of years ago and are dated by measuring how much uranium has decayed into thorium for each layer. For example‚ one of the world’s largest cave of speleothems is the Carlsbad Cavern in New Mexico‚ and it provides a record of precipitation for that general location. When water comes through from the ground above and into the cave‚ minerals are brought along with it‚ becoming solid mineral deposits such as stalactites‚ stalagmites‚ and flowstones. Layers accumulate over time and would

bringing more and more air up. The Indian Ocean gets hot as well; this makes water to evaporate and making the air humid. As this humid hot air reaches the Tibetan Plateau‚ the Orographic effect occurs creating condensation‚ and therefore storms and precipitation‚ this makes the wet season. On the other hand the opposite happens during dry season. Because of the height and extent of the Tibetan Plateau‚ it acts as a mechanical barrier for upper tropospheric western winds. In addition‚ the lowering of

Large cities have their own climatic conditions. To what extent is this true? (40 marks) Large cities have their own climatic conditions and can be referred to as having a micro-climate. Micro-climates are small scale variations in temperature‚ precipitation‚ humidity‚ wind speed and evaporation that occur in an environment. This would therefore suggest that the statement is in fact true. Large cities create their own climate and weather which is known as the ‘urban climate dome’ within which weather

Animals hunker down‚ able to find only enough food to keep warm. The tundra is an unusually cold and dry climate. Precipitation totals 6-10 inches of rain a year‚ which includes melted snow. This is almost as little as the world’s driest deserts. Coupled with strong and drying winds‚ the tundra is an extreme weather biome. The tundra seems like a wet and soggy place because the precipitation that falls evaporates slowly‚ and because of the poor drainage caused by the permafrost. You can find the tundra

soil. Therefore‚ resulting in arid fields. In the 1930‘s there was huge drought in the Great Plains. A decreased amount of precipitation was another main cause of the Dust Bowl. Without precipitation‚ it is very hard to grow crops. The Great Plains already has a semi-arid climate and without the much need rain‚ this area turned into a “bowl” of dust. The average precipitation according to John Wesley Powell is 20 inches of rain annually (doc E). As the years pass‚ the annual rainfall for Dallam County
