Model impact of atmopsheric circulation changes on precipitation dD of a region
Earth ScienceAsked by: Sanny Mckinney How does atmospheric circulation affect precipitation? Atmospheric circulation transports heat over the surface of the Earth that affects the water cycle, including the formation of clouds and precipitation events. The movement of air masses brings us our daily weather, and long-term patterns in circulation determine regional climate and ecosystems. What are
Why continents do not subduct
Geology & LandformWhy Continents Refuse to Take a Dive: The Subduction Story Ever wonder what makes our planet tick? Earth’s surface is like a giant jigsaw puzzle, with tectonic plates constantly bumping and grinding against each other. These plates, made of the crust and upper mantle, are the reason we have earthquakes, volcanoes, and those jaw-dropping mountain
How will climate change affect the 3D distribution of lapse rate in the atmosphere?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Veronica Mitchell What is the reason behind negative lapse rate in stratosphere? This is due to the absorbtion by ozone of the sun’s UV radiation and is in sharp contrast to the lower atmosphere. There it generally gets colder as you go higher due to the expansion of gases as the pressure decreases.
