northerly, easterly and southerly. British climate is classified as temperate as it rarely features the extremes of heat or cold, rain, drought or wind that are common in other climates. Basic characteristics of this climate include temperature, precipitation, wind and air masses. The mean summer temperatures in the UK are lower than the average for its latitude which is due to the cooling influence from the Atlantic Ocean with its daily maximum being about 30 degrees. The average monthly values rarely

hurricanes throughout most places. It causes more floods due to more melting ice. As the sea water levels rise due to melting ice and increased rain, it can act harsher towards people who live near coastlines. Droughts can be also caused due to lack of precipitation and too much heat. Thus threatening the chances of being in a safe environment to call home. It is predicted for

mills. The pollution is not just getting in the air but the water. The water cycle makes the pollution get spread quicker as well. The energy from the sun would cause the river water to evaporate and turn into condensation then precipitation. Once it rains that precipitation would have some hazardous effect on the lithosphere. The pollution can also harm the plants and trees and that would cause an impact on the food chain because it would affect the herbivores. The

Atmospheric Pressure Name Institution Atmospheric Pressure Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted on an area by the weight of air above the surface of the land. On a certain plane, low pressure areas are those with less atmospheric mass above them while high pressure areas are those with a higher atmospheric mass above them. Atmospheric pressure decreases with increase in altitude. This is because as altitude increases, there is lesser and lesser overlying atmospheric mass, hence less

Site One - The Rangipo Desert The Rangipo Desert is approximately 1000m above sea level, East of Mount Tongariro. This fairly high altitude means the desert receives more sunlight than most places, and it is often plagued by strong northwesterly winds sweeping off the surface of the mountain. Funneling through the mountains and becoming very intense throughout the desert, these powerful winds test the durability of the vegetation growing here. These plants therefore must be accustomed to the strong

The Main Peculiarities of a Snowfall. A snowfall consists of myriads of minute ice crystals that fall to the ground in the form of frozen precipitation.The formation of snow begins with these ice crystals in the subfreezing strata of the middle and upper atmosphere when there is an adequate supply of moisture present. At the core of every ice crystal is a minuscule nucleus, a solid particle of matter around which moisture condenses and freezes. Liquid water droplets floating in the supercooled
