Types of landforms There are many different types of landforms on the Earth. Some of them were formed over millions of years and others were formed in a matter of hours. The formation of a mountain range, for example, would usually take a few million years. Events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions can 'wipe off' landforms, or form new ones in a matter of hours. Examples of some natural landforms are mountains, oceans, rivers, hills, volcanoes, valleys, desserts, waterfalls, caves and cliffs

three locations in semi-arid Maharashtra – Aurangabad, Pune and Solapur. Daily temperature and rainfall data for the period 1969-2006 were obtained from India Meteorological Department (IMD). Based on the percentile values, various temperature and precipitation indices were derived from the data. Heat and cold wave analyses were also carried out. Indices derived from percentiles were further studied for trends using regression analysis. This exercise was performed for different seasons i.e. summer, monsoon

Atmosphere- a blanket of air that surrounds the earth Function of the atmosphere 1. It insulates us so that we don’t freeze at night. 2. Its ozone layer protects us from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. 3. It also contains the carbon dioxide needed by plants for photosynthesis, and the oxygen we need to breathe. Layers of the atmosphere Troposphere • Layer closest to the Earth. • Where all weather occurs • The higher you go in the Troposphere the colder it

Claim #1: "What is the reaction between Co(NO3)2 and Na3PO4?" Co(NO3)2 (aq) reacts with Na3PO4 (aq) to form Co3(PO4)2 (sol) and NaNO3 (aq). To express the reaction as a balanced equation, it may be written as 3Co(NO3)2 (aq) + 2Na3PO4 (aq) --> Co3(PO4)2 (sol) + 6NaNO3 (aq). Data referenced in this explanation is included in appendices labeled A1-A3 at the rear of the report. In determining the identity of the products in the observed reaction, a simple qualitative test may be carried out to confirm

the continent of Africa has endured this challenge. Water is a comprehensive resource that’s caused many tribulations within the continent of Africa. As the struggles with water have plagued Africa, the lack thereof, purification, and lack of precipitation collectively contribute to the shortage.

climate change is occurring? We can definitely measure the climate changes when change occurs in the temperature. This winter has been horrific and seeing the temperature drop drastically is definitely a sign of the climate change. More snow and precipitation is seen. Water levels rise. I live right near a river and the ice buildup caused flooding in the nearby neighborhoods where some residents needed to evacuate. In the spring, pollen counts rise which can indicate climate change. Droughts can occur

No one can say for sure know what happened to the Mayan people and their civilization, but there are many theories that are out there that were researched by scientist and theologians. The first theory, which was researched by Jared Diamond an American evolutionary biologist, would be that the cities of the Mayans got over populated and the natural resources may have been stretched to the breaking point. The second theory was due to the climate, the drought and the rainfall. Penn State anthropologist

Clouds are formed by the accumulation of water vapor in the air, and they bring moisture to the various regions of the globe. Have you ever wondered what the various kinds of clouds are, and what kind of weather they appear in? There are actually over 100 different kinds of clouds, but for the sake of simplicity most of them can be grouped into ten different categories. These ten categories of clouds include low level clouds, middle level clouds, high level clouds, and cumulonimbus clouds which move

Aerosols Good or Bad? There is a wide misconception that aerosols are bad for the environment and contribute to the depletion of the ozone. Aerosol (derived more or less from “air-solid”) is technically just the suspension of fine particles, such as solids or liquid droplets, in a gas. As such, clouds, smog, smoke, air born dust, etc. are all aerosols. About 90% of all aerosols are naturally produced . They can either be directly emitted into the atmosphere (primary aerosol like dust, sea salt
