Essays on Atmosphere

Cloud Formation Cloud A cloud is a visible mass of condensation droplets. Water moves into the atmosphere through the process of evaporation and transpiration. Water vapors join the dust particles in the atmosphere to form clouds.  Finally, water returns to Earth as precipitation in the form of rain, snow, and hail. Clouds cannot be formed…

Have you ever heard of the second largest classic explosive eruption of the twentieth century? If not, let’s examine the cataclysmic eruption of Mount Pinatubo in June 1991. This volcano is located on the island of Luzon in the Philippines, a mere 90 kilometers (55 miles) northwest of Manila, the capital city (Rosenbu, 2010) (see…

There are 18 large moons  as listed by Chaisson and McMillan in table 12 :2 Astronomy Today, 6th Edition page 322, which are usefully classed in 3 groups – the small…

Introduction The aim of this design project is to prepare a feasible report for the storage of 450tons of apple for a period about 4 month. It is desired to design a controlled atmosphere cold storage facility and calculate the optimum total, fixed and variable costs in Eregli, Konya. The highest temperature in Eregli, Konya…

 The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is the area encircling the earth near the equator where winds originating in the northern and southern hemispheres come together. Consequences of the ITCZ’s movement are the “monsoon seasons” that affect areas in the tropics, as well as the formation of tropical storms during the local hemispheric summer (north or…

The heat gradient of the earth’s surface serves as the driving force for atmospheric circulation (Hodell & Thomas, 2000). The resulting differences in the temperature of different areas also bring forth a variation in pressure. When there is a difference in terms of pressure, air movement is initiated, and thus, wind is formed. Also, since…

Earth atmosphere There are three types of Earth atmosphere are known today and they can be distinguished by their chemical composition. The present atmosphere is usually referred to as the “3rd atmosphere”, as it appears to be the latest. The first type of atmosphere was primarily composed of helium and hydrogen, and the heat provided…

The hydro-ecosphere provides a more favorable environment for microorganisms compared to the atmosphere and lithosphere due to the presence of water. Water plays a crucial role in microbial metabolism (Atlas and Bartha, 1993). The unique properties of water also make it suitable as a habitat within the hydrosphere. Water’s polarity, with its slight negative and…

Venus, the jewel of the sky, was once know by ancient astronomers as the morning starand evening star. Early astronomers once thought Venus to be two separate bodies. Venus, which is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty, is veiled by thickswirling cloud cover. Astronomers refer to Venus as Earth’s sister planet. Both…
