Describe and explain how hurricanes are formed and the dynamics that cause them to strengthen or weaken. Why are thick wires rather than thin wires usually used to carry large currents? Explain why the temperature at the equator is always hot and the temperature at the poles is always cold, ...
Apart from the dead and live load, what kinds of occasional, transient forces might the bridge need to withstand? Are there earthquakes or hurricanes and, if so, how can the bridge be designed to survive them? Will a river bridge be able to cope with floods? And what about the loads it...
Repeated surveys from ships have been used to detect large-scale changes associated with submarine volcanic eruptions (e.g., Fox et al., 1992), earthquakes (e.g., Fujiwara et al., 2011; Mountjoy et al., 2018), hurricanes (e.g., Miner et al., 2009), and submarine channel evolution ...
The lines are painted by hand, and we use stencils for the Hardee's star and the Hurricanes logos. Then we put a third layer on to seal the paint, and then the rest of the ice surface is spread." Maintaining the Rink No matter how well-groomed the ice rink, the ice will ...
The most consequential story in science continues to be climate change, and 2024 brought plenty of news in that field. The devastation of hurricanes Helene and Milton, wildfires in the Amazon rainforest, monsoons in India, and torrential rainfall in central Europe exemplified how extreme weather ev...
"After the first layer of ice is put on, we paint the entire rink white, using 300 gallons (about 1,100 liters) of water-based white paint, then another layer of ice," says MacMillan. The lines are painted by hand, and we use stencils for the Hardee's star and the Hurricanes logo...

“Six years ago we had a humongous financial crisis — greatest in my lifetime, hopefully the last in my lifetime, we’ll see. Five years ago we passed a significant law to try to address some of the things that caused that crisis. Three years ago the SEC passed...
known as the Arctic Oscillation (AO). When atmospheric pressure over the Arctic is low and pressure over the mid-latitudes is high, theAOis said to be in its positive phase, which supports a tight and fast-moving zonal, west-to-east airflow - the Polar Vortex - as the diagram below ...
