Climate

Hawaii clime is tropical with singular differences in clime within short distances. Hawaii’s clime is warm throughout the twelvemonth with temperatures runing from 20 to 28°C ( 68 to 85°F ) . The rainy season is between December to March ; rain can be heavy in the mountains but elsewhere it is confined to short…

The difference between weather and climate is a measure of time. Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere “behaves” over relatively long periods of time. http://www. nasa. gov/mission_pages/noaa-n/climate/climate_weather. html The definition and discussion of Meteorologist and Climatologist? A meteorologist is a scientist…

Coastal plains are a geologic feature found around the world and on both the eastern and western coasts of India. Coastal plains are characterized by an area of flat low lying land that is situated adjacent to a water body often a sea or ocean. It is also of note that coastal plains are separated…

A mid latitude cyclone can also be referred to as an extratropical cyclone. As the name mid latitude suggests, they are found outside the tropics but before the north and south poles, approximately between 23 and 66 degrees on each of the hemispheres or the temperate zones of the earth between the Antarctic and the…

Introduction What is El Nino? The semisynthetic environmental catastrophe made out to be, or an flight from what research workers can non explicate? Understanding the events construction and planetary impact is the first measure to construing these inquiries. The planetary population can non take sides on an issue that they do non grok, yet recent…

Tsunami is a Japanese name for ‘harbour waves’ generally called tidal waves but actually tsunami has nothing to do with tides. Tsunami is generated when ocean floods shift vertically, usually due to an earthquake. When a shift in the ocean floor displaces the water above, the water body travels as a huge wave to regain…

The article “Keep off the Grass” by Tracy Vence focuses on the effort by ecologists to respond to the threat of global climate change through planting of trees. Different Governments, NGOs and international donors have contributed a lot in afforestation and reforestation with the aim of achieving ecosystem restoration and preservation. However, according to Vence,…

A tornado is a violent windstorm usually characterized by a twisting, funne shaped cloud that is caused by a thunderstorm or a hurricane. It is produce when a cool air mass meets a warm air mass and forces the warm air mass t rise over the cool air mass very rapidly. Most of the damage…

 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…
