Exfoliation weatheringis a type ofmechanical (or physical) weatheringwhere outer layers of rock peel off in thin sheets or slabs. This process is akin to an onion shedding its layers, with rocks experiencing stress from expansion and contraction leading to fractures. This form of weathering predomi...
At the beginning of the process, there was an obvious dry layer in the lower troposphere. During the process, the cooling effect caused by phase transition processes such as precipitation evaporation was an important cooling mechanism for the occurrence of the rain-to-snow weather, and the ...
Finally, complex emergencies such as war, famine, and extreme weather can also contribute to poverty. During these times, people are forced to leave their homes and are unable to access the resources they need to survive. Poverty is a complex issue with no single cause or solution. Tackling ...
In 2012, an unexpected outbreak of Lambdina fiscellaria (Guenée) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) occurred in the Laurentian Mountains, Québec, Canada, known for its harsh climate. We wondered whether the eggs were sufficiently cold hardy to survive there and, if so, how long this outbreak would ...
Climate change exacerbates environmental degradation by altering weather patterns, leading to extreme weather events such as hurricanes, droughts, and floods.These events damage ecosystems, destroy infrastructure, and impact food security, further compromising the environment. 7.Policy and Governance: Inadequa...
It can cause extreme weather events — like heat waves, droughts, extreme rainfall, hurricanes, tropical storms, and even wildfires — the depletion of colder areas like glaciers and ice, an uptick in allergies, asthma, and diseases, and ultimately impacts farmers’ crop yields, breed pests (...
The spatial distribution of the drought days in the YRB during the midsummer of 2022 is shown in Fig. 1. Generally, after the Meiyu season, the YRB is prone to be rapidly controlled by hot and dry weather. Therefore, the midsummer season is a period that has the highest concentration of...
"It was the extreme weather phenomenon, the wind gusts, the speed of the fire, the forest that had not been cleared, the morphology of the terrain that helped its rapid advance, but the decisive factor was the layout of the buildings and roads that trapped people," he said. ...

of high pressure, the sinking movement over the Yangtze River Basin and the solar radiation reaching the ground are obviously strong, which led to strong extreme high temperature. 3) The main reason for the long duration of the abnormal circulation is that with the Rossby wave transmitting ...
