Equator

Storms that form north of the equator spin counter-clockwise and storms south of the equator spin clockwise.This difference is because of Earth's rotation on its axis. As the storm system rotates faster and faster, an eye forms in the center. It is very calm and clear in the eye, with very low air pressure. Higher pressure air from above flows down into the eye.the winds of a hurricane create hazardous conditions.Hurricanes are the most dangerous storms on earth and the outcome will blow you away

the actions itself rather than on moral implications in order to behave according to the derived regulations as well as rules. In reference to specific consideration, it is identified in terms of case study that banks should adopt Equator principles as well. The Equator rule includes accumulation of banks that have marked a record expressing ways they will secure the earth. It is identified that where the borrower does not or cannot conform to these standards of socially capable speculation. Despite

map with its established deserts, then we notice that all the big deserts are arranged (with little deviance) along two belts around the globe (Figure1). These two belts are in the areas of around 20-30 degrees of latitude north and south of the equator – the so-called Horse Latitudes. In the northern hemisphere we have the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts in North America, the Sahara in North Africa, the Arabian Desert on the Arabian Peninsula, the Turkestan, Dasht-E-Lut, Thar, Taklan Makan, and the Gobi

the time its recorded. 3. How would changing of the location where the observations are made (for example Caracas, Venezuela) affect the path of the Sun on the horizontal plane Sundial? a. Caracas, Venezuela is near the equator. The daylight time does not change near the equator. All year round the amount of daylight, and night time are the same. This would make every observation nearly the same instead of mine which are different from each

turn, then the circulation of the atmosphere would appear much like this. [pic] http://maritime.haifa.ac.il/departm/lessons/ocean/lect14.htm The air at the Equator would be heated by the warm Earth and so rise, flow toward the poles where it is cooled by the cold Earth, subside at the North Pole and South Pole, and then flow back to the Equator along the surface of the Earth. But the Earth does have continents and it does spin on its axis, so the “General Circulation” of the atmosphere actually looks

Heating of the earth exterior and atmosphere and influences patterns of precipitation the sun heats the air at the equator causing it to expand and rise. Since cool air holds less water vapor than warm air, the water carried by the rising air mass condenses and forms clouds which produce the heavy rainfall associated with the tropical environment. Eventually this equatorial air mass began to rise and spreads north and south. The high altitude air is dry since the moisture it once held fell as a tropical

Most people do not know that there are a lot of medical discoveries in the rain forest. Tropical rain forest help to balance the ecosystem and our human existence. For centuries, rain forest have supported medicines due to its rich medical plant life. This also saves many people’s lives. Most people wonder what Tropical rain forest are. Tropical rain forest are mostly to be found as warm, wet climates. They contain many species. Today rain forest cover very little as in six percent of Earth’s

Climates The global pattern of climate is affected by: * latitude * land and sea * relief * ocean currents Latitude ======== The Equator receives greater amounts of solar heating than latitudes further north or south. Places therefore nearer the Equator are much warmer than those closer to the Poles. Nearer the Poles precipitation will be more variable with lower temperatures. More will fall as snow, covering the ground for

Name: Basic Coordinates & Seasons – Student Guide There are three main sections to this module: terrestrial coordinates, celestial equatorial coordinates, and understanding how the ecliptic is related to seasons on the Earth. Each of these sections has its own simulator(s). The background material necessary to utilize these tools is contained in each section. Terrestrial Coordinates Work through the explanatory material on units of longitude and latitude, finding longitude and latitude, and

Why does the ocean matter? Many people find themselves asking this question. They view the ocean as just being a large part of the planet that takes up significant space (the ocean takes up about 70% of the earth and is responsible for about 97% of the earth’s total water). The people who ask this question would be defined as not being ocean literate. An ocean literate person is one who understands ocean literacy. This means that they understand the essential principles and fundamental concepts of
