Unearthed Insights: Uncovering Evidence of Accelerated CO2 Rise in Earth’s History
Climate & Climate ZonesUnderstanding CO2 and its impact on the climate Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a naturally occurring greenhouse gas that plays a critical role in the Earth’s climate system. It is released into the atmosphere through various natural processes, such as volcanic eruptions, respiration, and the decomposition of organic matter. However, human activities, particularly the burning of

Why are isotherms skewed to 45 degrees in the tephigram?
Climate & Climate Zones1. Getting Started The tephigram is an essential tool used in meteorology and atmospheric science to analyze and interpret the thermodynamic properties of the atmosphere. It provides a graphical representation of temperature, dew point, and potential temperature profiles with altitude. One of the distinctive features of the tephigram is the skewness of the isotherms, which
