creating low pressure at the surface. Northern hemisphere cyclonic circulations are mirrored in the southern hemisphere. For instance‚ in the northern hemisphere winds move counterclockwise and in the southern hemisphere winds move clockwise following the geostrophic pattern resemblance to isobars. In the northern hemisphere the wind flow pattern joins cool air that is from the north with warm air that is from the south. Then two fronts are created. A cold front extends to the southwest from the

Air Mass Q1 A Air Mass is an extremely large body of air whose properties of temperature and moisture content (humidity)‚ at any given altitude‚ are fairly similar in any horizontal direction. * can cover hundreds of thousands of square miles. there can be small variations An air mass is a large body of air that have similar characteristics‚ such as pressure‚ temperature‚ and moisture. What determines its characteristics is the source region. The source region is the surface over which

In addition to the devastating that Hurricane Irene caused in the same area the year prior‚ birds and other animals were scattered. The soaring winds catapult birds to different locations‚ sometimes hundreds of miles from their familiar habitat. While some species of birds were finishing up their migration route to warmer weather‚ the irresistible winds led birds astray and separated the weaker ones from their flock. In some cases‚ the birds can recover within a few weeks and find their designated

Another time we come across some youthful diction is when we are faced with lines “the wind like a squirrel wielding knives”. This exudes childish tones‚ with the exception of the use of knives.

Geography internal 2.5B How does location affect vegetation growth? I will be looking at several factors that affect growth‚ such as density‚ height of plants‚ how different altitudes affects plant growth‚ temperature variations and wind speeds. All these are contribution factors that I assume will influence vegetation growth in the TVC. I discovered that all of the 6 sites that we visited had unique characteristics that made each one different. Some of the landscapes were baron and had very
