Atlantic Ocean, body of salt water covering about one-fifth of Earth’s surface and separating the continents of Europe and Africa to the east from those of North and South America to the west. Its name, derived from Greek mythology, means the ‘Sea of A
In summer, moist rain-bearing southerly winds prevail, and the average relative humidity exceeds 70 percent. The average annual temperature is 56 °F (13 °C), with a January average of 25 °F (−4 °C) and a July average of 81 °F (27 °C). Severe winter storms are common, ...
Major lakes, rivers, cities, roads, country boundaries, coastlines and surrounding islands are all shown on the map. How were Windward and Leeward named? Early sailing ships crossing the Atlantic took advantage of the trade winds and ocean currents. These often delivered them to the edge of ...
- 《Journal of Asian Earth Sciences》 被引量: 65发表: 2010年 The Marine Geoid and Satellite Altimetry The marine geoid defines the hydrostatic equilibrium shape that sea level would take in the absence of tides, currents and winds. The geoid is not directly observable, but its height above ...

A map of wind speeds from the blizzard that hit the northeastern U.S. coast on Jan. 23, 2016, shows gusts strong enough to be considered hurricane force, which caused significant destruction.
There are three planetary pressure belts, and hence three types of prevailing winds: the easterlies, the westerlies, and the trade winds. The pressure belts are associated with typical weather conditions, and the prevailing winds lead to seasonal climatic changes in many places on Earth. All low...
Plants must be very tolerant to intense sun, prolonged periods without precipitation, and have an ability to prevent moisture loss to conditions of severe temperature ranges, dry winds, and low humidity. Animals must be able to tolerate temperature extremes, temperature ranges, and have an ability...
