What is the name of the cloud that covers large areas and form in layers?
Stratus Clouds are clouds that cover large areas and form in layers.
How is the sun involved in a wind creation?
Differential heating of earth's crust. Suppose the sunlight warms the rocks of a dry desert. The air above these rocks warms and rises. Air circulates in from slightly cooler surrounding areas. Solar energy strikes the earth rather uniformly, but cloud cover can reflect a lot of light back into space. So the area beneath the clouds will tend to be cooler. These temperature differences drive the winds, not counting the Coriolis Effect of earth's spinning responsible for the "trade" winds.
Why do sunspots look dark in color?
In regular photographs, sunspots appear dark because the temperature of surrounding areas is so high that by comparison, sunspots are cool. In reality, they are still immensely hot.
Where are nimbus clouds usually found in the sky?
It's found in the low areas
What is the function of the sunspot?
Sunspots can be defined as a short-term phenomenon on the photosphere of the Sun that appear visibly as dark spots compared to surrounding regions. They are caused by intense magnetic action, which inhibits convection by an effect comparable to the eddy current brake forming areas of reduced surface temperature. They usually appear as pairs, with each sunspot having the opposite magnetic pole to the other.
What is the theory that indicates that destabilization in one area will eventually effect surrounding areas?
the Domino theory
What is the effect on surrounding areas during earthquake?
broken buildings collapsed buildings roofs ect
Why does Northeastern Ohio get so much snow?
Because they are in the lake effect snow belt. When cold air passes over the relatively warm waters of Lake Erie in the winter, instability in the atmosphere is generated causing clouds and snow. Essentially, the water from the lake is evaporated, condensed into clouds and snow, and dropped on the land downwind. Often, this all occurs as the weather is fairly clear in surrounding areas.
Why are sunspot darker than surrounding areas?
Sunspots are darker because they are cooler than the surrounding area.
What are 'surrounding areas'?
Surrounding areas are places that are near the particular place in question, but not part of that place. For example, the suburbs of a major city are not part of the city itself, but they are part of its "surrounding areas."
High pressure areas tend to have more clouds and rainy weather?
No. Clouds and rain are associated with low-pressure areas.
What is the name of the cloud that covers large areas and form in layers?
Stratus Clouds are clouds that cover large areas and form in layers.
The late 1800s Japanese leaders decided that the best way to avoid being dominated by imperialist nations was to?
expand into surrounding areas _apex_
Why do areas of high pressure fewer clouds?
Cold, sinking air aloft is compressed and heated as it sinks in areas of high pressure. This causes an elevated temperature inversion. An elevated temperature inversion occurs when a layer of warm air resides over a layer cooler air (at the surface) thereby restricting the vertical movement of air. The vertical movement of air is necessary for cloud development. This is why you see very few, if any, clouds in areas of high pressure.
Do clouds form in high pressure areas or low pressure areas?
no
How does the effect of global warming on oceans disrupt the water cycle?
Global warming has the effect of increasing the water that is evaporated from the Earth's surface. This fills up the clouds and produces more rain and snow in humid areas.
Where are the CUMULUS clouds usually found?
Cumulus clouds are usually found in low areas.
