What weather instrument is used to measure the dew point? Can the dew point be higher than temperature? What is the average barometric pressure? What happens to air pressure in the troposphere? What is saturated air in meteorology? What are the pressure conditions of air above the equator?
How long does it take for wind erosion to occur? What does pyroclastic flow do? What is pyroclastic flow? What is saltation in wind erosion? What do nimbostratus clouds produce? What is a suspended sediment transport rate? What process cools air as it rises above the equator?
The Jamaican sun is very powerful due to its proximity to the equator and shines bright even in the winter, so a long-sleeved rash guard is the perfect antidote to avoid over-exposure. If you are fair-skinned (like me!) you will be glad to know this one has UPF sun protection of 50...
It also depends on the height of the moon above the equator as a result of its inclined orbit. The sun also affects the tides, albeit less so than the moon, by attracting masses of water. The solar role is additive to the lunar one therefore, the respective geometry also influences the...
One result of these interactions is that equatorial air masses move away from the equator and in the process those equatorial winds actually take heat away from the equator and transfer it to some cooler part of Earth. And by redistributing this energy, the Sun's energy really, winds play ...
Hurricanes are the most violent storms on Earth, according to NASA. At heart, hurricanes are fueled by just two ingredients: heat and water. Hurricanes are seeded over the warm waters above the equator, where the air above the ocean's surface takes in heat and moisture. As the hot air ri...
If you live close to the equator or near a coastal region, you probably hear your local weatherman say the word "humidity" all too often. But no matter where you are, you've surely experienced it -- that muggy, heavy feeling that fills the air, often when it's rainy, foggy or hot...
Thewinter solsticeis the day each year that has the shortest period of daylight between sunrise and sunset, and therefore the longest night. It happens when the sun is directly above the Tropic of Capricorn, a line of latitude that circles the globe south of the equator, theNational Weather...
Definition of Zodiac Signs and the Seasons Author Xofc The sun Moving through the seasons The ancient way to evaluate the time of year was founded on the equinoxes and solstices. The zodiac crosses the equator at an angle of approximately 23° 28'. The two intersection points are called th...
There are several factors that create the doldrums or this area of calm. Trade winds from North and South converge or meet in this area near the equator and the air becomes greatly warmed by the sun. This causes the air to move upward in almost a vertical direction, instead of remaining ...
