Equator

The variance is from waterskiing to surfing. Additionally just soaking up the cool water on the beach is popular. Air-conditioning is necessary in some areas. Not going out at all or going to the air-conditioned malls become common. Water is always required in this climate, as hydration needs consideration to keep the cramps away or worse heat stroke. Prevent Sunburn by using light clothing. Cold – During the cold weather, snow sports are a favorite. Skiing on the slopes or…

The ocean current transports a large amount of heat and energy across our planet (Causes of Climate Change). The oceans current take cold water from the poles to the equator and then it takes warm water from the equator to the poles. This process helps cool the equator and warm the poles of our planet. Without this process the equator would be much hotter and the poles would be much colder (Causes of Climate Change). Our oceans help with determining the concentration of carbon dioxide within our…

Cole Shimek Austin Harris Atm Sci 100 5/11/16 Atmospheric Science 100 – Final Project Topic 1: Explain the difference between climate, weather, and meteorology. The three terms climate, weather, and meteorology are all part of the same subject matter. However, they all have key differences from each other that make it especially important to be able to differentiate between each of them. Meteorology is the main category, while climate and weather are separate entities of it. Learning the…

“Warm tropical climates are mostly found near the Equator.” (N.p., n.d. Web. 08 Mar. 2016.) This shows that some of the continents use to be in the same area. Also, they found evidence of ancient glaciers by the equator. Who would think of a glacier near the equator, since it is hot and not cold. Alfred saw information of plants of the same species in different places, like a flower that needed to live in…

1) Table 2) Day length is related to latitude in the way that as you get close to the equator descending from the North Pole in the winter the amount of sunlight is grows, until hitting a full 24 hours of daylight at the South Pole. However in the summer it is the opposite. Starting at the North Pole with 24 hours of sunlight, it slowly decreases as you go down until it reaches 0 at the South Pole, when there is no sunlight at all. (For the North Pole it’s reversed, so it starts out at 0 in the…

for hot desert and the cities are located on the coast which are the ideal sunny paradise. Australia has a diverse range of climates because of its size and it being located below the equator and above the Antarctic circle. Thus giving Australia cold fronts from Antartica and high pressure system from the equator creating…

continents move and break apart this causes the climate to adjust the area affecting how a lineage of species will evolve or not leading to adaption or extinction. In my Pangea theory, it would have broken into two large land masses (possibly along the equator) rather than seven smaller masses. This would lead to larger and drier land masses due to moisture barriers such as larger forests and mountain ranges. This would lead to a dramatic change in the distribution of natural resources they…

Wow! Tornadoes and Hurricanes are very powerful and can be lots of harm. Although Tornados and Hurricanes have many things that are similar, they also vary in other characteristics. Their wind speeds, damages, and locations are all different. However, their causes are similar. The first thing that Tornados and Hurricanes have that is different is their wind speeds. A tornados wind speed for a week storm could get up to about 50mph. For a strong tornado wind speed could get up to about 320mph.…

GG310 OCEANOGRAPHY Evaluate the geological evidence for so-called ‘Snowball Earth’ glacial episodes in the Precambrian and the hypothesis that these episodes were critical in the evolution of complex life. Introduction The importance of this period is that multicellular evolution began to accelerate after the last glacial ended.refbookpage829.The term Snowball Earth refers to the hypothesis that in the distant past, specifically the Cryogenian period (850-630 million years ago), the earth’s…

Emily Waldo Bezy Geo. Honors 15 August 2017 “Geography & It’s 5 Themes”  Geography is the study of the Earth, specifically the land and its features. The subject can be divided into two categories: Physical Geography and Cartography. Physical Geography entails actual points that can be located using latitude and longitude as well as landforms, such as mountains, rivers, lakes, oceans, plateaus, etc. Cartography is the study and / or practice of drawing maps. In Cartography; one must…
