The same thing happens when powerful winds generate surface activity on the oceans. Some of the winds are perpetual planetary features, generated by a combination of the Coriolis Effect, which is a result of the Earth's rotation, and temperature differences between cold Arctic air and warm tropic...
What sets surface currents in motion?surface current: Water from the oceanic flows around the surface in expectable patterns. Surface currents may run for thousands and hundreds of meters deep. Surface currents are highly significant because they spread heat throughout the world and influence weather...
What have 20 months of HF radar surface currents told us about the Fraser River plume?Halverson, MPawlowicz, R
polyps live as a surface layer on some sort of structure, be it hard and inflexible or rubbery. The hard, or true corals, for which reefs are most famous, build limestone skeletons beneath the living tissue. Soft corals, as their name implies, do not form solid skeletons; instead they se...
A latitudinal band of the surface with similar climatic attributes forms a climate region. There are a number of such regions, ranging from the tropical climate at the equator to the polar climate in the northern and southern extremes. Weather is also influenced by the seasons, which result ...
Ocean currents are movements of the ocean's water that are both directed and continuous. Essentially water flows in the same pattern continuously. These currents are driven by a variety of factors in including differences in salinity, temperature, the breaking of waves, and the ...
Jersey metro areas, the extreme killer cold in Eastern Europe and Russia, the “year without a Spring” and the very mild winters, dome of the features of drought, and other effects may be “the new normal” owing to a basic shift in how air currents are set up in a high-CO2 world...
All processes that involve carrying out and controlling a function are examples of homeostasis. This occurs whether it's made possible by the nervous system, hormonal system, or electrical currents. An easy example of regulation via homeostasis is a system that controls the temperature in the room...
such as light amplification or a corona camera can be used to allow more accurate measurement, examination of corona inception on “actual” parts depends greatly on factors such as local shape and dimensions, surface quality, etc. that are not easily addressed by the numerical simulation ...
So, in the 1960s and onward up through the 1990s, we keep finding evidence for glaciation, no matter what the latitude…even in tropical latitudes.Now, today there are glaciers in the tropics but only at very high elevations.But 750 million years ago, apparently there were glaciers even at...
