Or, you can drive along the US Gulf Coast from Brazosport, Texas to Tallahassee, Florida; rainfall exceeds 50 inches per year all along the route, in some places well over 60 inches per year. The Gulf moisture moves all the way from the Gulf to Canada, eventually dropping from the sky as rain.
Where GMT is Greenwich Meridian Time (the same than Universal Time for this effects), TimeZone is the time zone you are at. For instance -7 for the Pacific Time Zone in North America. And Longitude, is the longitude of the observer (expressed as a positive value for East longitudes and a negative value for West ones).
The west coast is even more extreme, with some places having the warmest day in September. Conversely, desert areas in the southwest (southern Arizona, New Mexico, western Texas) have the warmest day of the year in June.
Hence it is the Earth which is rotating and is the reason for sunrise and sunset. If the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, then the Earth should rotate in the opposite direction from west to east (anti-clockwise). Share. Improve this answer. edited Jan 31, 2016 at 7:20.
The Ural mountains are one of the oldest mountain ranges on Earth. They started forming about 300 Ma ago by the subduction of the oceanic crust once attached to the Kazakhstania plate under the ancient Laurussia continent. A subduction process that finished about 240 Ma ago. The tectonic plates are far from fixed, some of them disappear over ...
I don't believe the alternate direction of winds north and south of the stationary and warm front are realistic at all, as they suggest different low pressures are dominating flow. Note that stationary fronts with winds from the west often regularly happen where a cold front has stalled.
The dust bowl occurred in six states, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas. In environments dominated by a mild or temperate climate, it takes roughly 200-400 years to form half an inch of top soil. in wet tropical areas soil formation is substantially faster, it takes 200 years However tropical plants gobble up nutrients ...
The Mercator projection is a cylindrical one, that is, the coordinate system is developed by wrapping a cylinder around the Earth, projecting its features onto the cylinder, and then unrolling the cylinder to lie flat. This causes the lines of latitude and longitude to form a rectangular grid.
10. Lerwick (LER) based on 1-minute definitive data 2003-10-29 shows plots for D and I in degrees and F in nT. D shows a dip to -2 degrees in the hour before 07:00 UT and then a sudden rise to about +1.5 degrees at about 07:00 with spikes to +2 degrees. Compass angles (positive West, negative East) measured at BGS Lerwick, Eskdalemuir and ...
$\begingroup$ @gansub: That report is from Midland, Texas, which is in the middle of the country, not all that far from the Missouri, Oklahoma, &c places that're having floods & tornados. Not much connection to the California/Sierra Nevada West, AFAIK.
