What happens in the troposphere? What is located immediately above the stratosphere? What is the difference between the troposphere and the stratosphere? Does the temperature rise or drop in the stratosphere? What important layer exists within the stratosphere? What happens to air pressure in the tr...
What happens in the troposphere? What are clastic sedimentary rocks made of? What are cinder cone volcanoes made of? What are the southern lights in Antarctica? Who created geophysics? What gases are emitted from volcanoes? What are the air currents around a thunderstorm?
In a tornado, the same sort of thing happens as with our bathtub example, except with air instead of water. Low-pressure centers — which draw in cooler, high-pressure air from the surrounding area — dictate a great deal of the Earth's wind patterns. This airflow pushes the low-pressur...
This calm happens when warm, moist air that fuels the storm is pulled in, creating a low-pressure area and stabilizing the surrounding air with warm, dry air that descends from the storm. However, larger and more complex storm systems may not exhibit this calm, and predicting whether a calm...
When this happens, northern Europe, including the UK, is likely to get a long spell of dry, cold weather, whereas southern Europe will tend to be more mild, wet and windy. In some cases, the drop in temperatures leads to snow, which is what happened in early 2018. ...
The reason these changes keep happening is that the term “polar vortex” actually describes two types of cold weather events. One happens in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the earth’s atmosphere, while another happens higher up in the stratosphere. Basically, it's a frigid cyclone. ...
What happens in the troposphere? What would happen if the Hoover Dam broke? What caused the Holocene extinction? What caused the Kilauea volcano to erupt? What happened after the ice age ended? What happened to the Himalayas during the Cenozoic era? What would have happened if the Chicxulub ...
Even though this is the smallest layer of the atmosphere, there is a lot going on in the troposphere. This is where we live and where the weather we experience happens. Many commercial jets fly near the top of this layer. HERE'S WHAT CAUSES TURBULENCE AND WHY YOU SHOULDN'T BE AFRAID ...
The troposphere is integral to Earth's climate system, hosting weather patterns that distribute heat and moisture globally. 6 Where do satellites orbit in relation to Earth's atmosphere? Many satellites orbit within the exosphere. 3 What happens at the boundary between the troposphere and the next...
