Why Does the Eastern United States Receive More Rainfall Despite Westerly Winds?
TemperatureRising temperatures and heat waves One of the most significant consequences of global climate change is rising temperatures. The Earth’s temperature has already risen 1°C above pre-industrial levels. Over the next 50 years, we can expect this trend to continue, resulting in an increase of 1.5°C to 2°C. This may not sound like much, but

Exploring the Role of the Atmosphere in Adding Heat to the Earth’s Surface
TemperatureWhat role does the atmosphere play in adding heat to the Earth’s surface? The atmosphere plays a critical role in adding heat to the Earth’s surface. Heat is transferred from the atmosphere to the Earth’s surface by a process called conduction. This process occurs when molecules in the atmosphere move from a region of higher
