As reviewed inChapters 1.23and8.12, the inner core displays a surprising amount of structure. It has a depth-dependent anisotropy and also exhibits differences inseismic propertiesbetween the eastern and western hemispheres. The causes of these observations are currently uncertain: possible explanations ...

In this lesson, learn about some of the connections among the people in the Eastern Hemisphere. Explore this side of the world and examine...
The effect of microbial reduction of bacteriogenic iron oxides (BIOS) on the release of sorbed Sr was examined using a naturally low-Sr BIOS (n-BIOS) collected from Chalk River, Canada, and a naturally high-Sr BIOS (sp-BIOS) collected from sp, Sweden. EXAFS analysis suggested that Sr was...
1). Nevertheless, the full global scale documentation suffers from gaps in regional rainfall records in both Hemispheres. Figure 1 Global modern precipitation rates estimated from satellite imagery of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (a) January (b) August. Map was taken from NASA homepage ...
Central Yunnan Province (CYP) and eastern South Africa (ESA) are in the subtropical regions of the Northern and Southern hemispheres, respectively, with significant differences in natural environments and socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, there is a lack of comparability between ...
The density jump in the Eastern Hemisphere of the Earth's inner core (IC) is 0.3 g/cm 3 , and it is 0.9 g/cm 3 in the Western one. Taking the large discrepancy in the obtained estimates into consideration, maintenance of such large lateral variations in the mosaic properties of the ...
The Risso’s dolphinGrampus griseus(Cuvier, 1812)1is a small Odontocetes distributed from the tropics throughout the temperate regions in both hemispheres1,2,3,4,5, living in the deep waters of the continental slope and outer shelf, especially those areas with a steep bottom topography6,7,...
Temperature variations in the 25–60 km region of the atmosphere over stations in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres were compared for an 11-year solar cycle period (1971–1981). The temperature of the two hemispheres did not show similar variations at the same height and time. A cross-...
