Climate The wind and pressure systems of the Pacific conform closely to theplanetary system—the patterns of air pressure and the consequent wind patterns that develop in the atmosphere of the Earth as a result of its rotation (Coriolis force) and theinclinationof its axis (ecliptic) toward the...
(GIN) Sea plunge downward when they meet the colder waters from more northerly produced fresh water, southward-drifting ice, and a colder atmosphere. This producesNorth Atlantic Deep Water(NADW), which circulates in the world ocean. An increase in this freshwater and ice export could shut ...

Marc has taught Bachelor level students climate science and has a PhD in climate science. Energy transfer in the atmosphere, ocean, and Earth's interior occurs as a result of three basic processes: convection, conduction, and radiation. In this lesson, you will explore these three processes in...

Methane is a serious issue for landfills because it's a potent greenhouse gas, some 28 to 36 times more effective than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere. And landfill gas emissions are the third-largest source of methane emissions in the U.S., accounting for about 15 percent...
How do the atmosphere and ocean exchange oxygen? In essence, photosynthesis turns sunlight + water (H2O) + carbon dioxide (CO2) –> sugar + oxygen (O2). Respiration turns sugar + oxygen –> water + carbon dioxide + energy The isotopic composition of the water in photosynthesis affects the ...
"Right now we're releasing about 10 billion tons of carbon per year into the atmosphere and roughly two and a half billion tons of that goes into the ocean," Scott Doney, a professor of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia, told Live Science. Since industrialization began mo...
ocean current, stream made up of horizontal and vertical components of thecirculationsystem ofoceanwaters that is produced bygravity,windfriction, and waterdensityvariation in different parts of the ocean. Ocean currents are similar towindsin theatmospherein that they transfer significant amounts ofheat...
