Deserts‚ Glaciers‚ and Climate September 19‚ 2010 SCI/245 Deserts and Glaciers Deserts cover about one-third of the earth’s surface and have unique geologic features that cannot be found in more humid environments. The features found in deserts are mostly formed by wind and water erosion. Desserts are usually created because they are located in a dry region downwind of a mountain range caused by air losing its moisture as it passes over mountains‚ also known as a rain shadow. Rocks

1. Explain how observed teleconnection patterns can help in the preparation of a seasonal weather forecast. Observed teleconnection patterns are beneficial in preparing seasonal weather forecast because they allow for long range forecasts. By leveraging the relationship between large-scale oceanic and atmospheric changes between specific areas and regions climate scientist are able to create relatively accurate long range predictions. These forecasts are not only important because they explain prevailing
