(wind scale) A scale that rates the force of wind from 0 to 12, a rating of 0 being absolute calm and one of 12 being hurricane force. Dictionary of Unfamiliar Words by Diagram Group Copyright © 2008 by Diagram Visual Information Limited ...
The wind that people notice day-to-day in smaller regions is local winds. Local winds can be created and affected by the heating of the earth and land barriers. Diving deeper into how local winds are created, one must first discuss the effects of the unequal heating of the Earth on air...
5. Albedo – fraction of EM radiation reflected by a surface. During the day, clouds reflect sun’s energy, keeping the land cooler than it would be if clouds were not present. During the night, clouds reflect heat radiated from the Earth, keeping the land warmer than it would be clouds...
How does the sun create winds? In the diagram above, notice how cool air falls, resulting in high pressure, and moving towards regions of low pressure. Anywhere and each time there are differences in atmospheric (air) pressure, there will be wind because air will move from the high-pressure...
Get the ad-free experience for life A diagram of the ESA XMM-Newton X-Ray Telescope. Delivered to orbit by a Ariane 5 launch vehicle in 1999. (Illustration Credit: ESA/XMM-Newton) The study of star forming regions and the evolution of galaxies has focused on the effects of shock ...
The orbit of Astrolábos around WASP-43 is plotted in this diagram, showing its distance (around 2 million kilometres), and the relative sizes of the star (about half the diameter of the Sun) and planet (roughly equal to ...
1.___bottom layer of the atmosphere (atm layers) 2.___rise in the global temperature due to an increase in carbon dioxide caused by human activity. The unequal heating of the Earth's Atmosphere and Surface CAUSES Changes in air pressure WHICH CAUSES WIND. Atmosphere...
How unusually above normal the temperatures are at a location -Is it warmer than the top 5% of hottest days in the period of record for this date? Time of year -Is this early season heat that you likely haven't become used to, typical mid-summer heat, or late season heat that you ...
