A cold dry air mass moving over tropical water will become warmer and wetter because the temperature difference causes both moisture and warmth to rise. The process slows as the temperatures become equalized.

How do valley networks form on Mars?

It is theorized that the valley networks on Mars formed when Mars had a warmer wetter climate so that precipitation might account for the branched networks etc.


How does El Nino event affect ud here in Florida?

El Nino brings wetter-than-normal conditions to Florida during the winter months, especially late winter. Temperatures tend to be slightly warmer in early winter, and on the cool side in late winter and early spring.


What kind of weather conditions would you expect to find in Australia during La Niña?

The water in the western Pacific is typically warmer than in the eastern Pacific because trade winds blow the warm waters of the eastern Pacific westward and keep it there. Also, upwelling in the eastern Pacific keeps the water cooler.The warmer water creates more clouds and rain, keeping Indonesia and other areas of the western Pacific wetter than Peru and other coastal regions of South America.During El Niño, the pressure gradient (rate of pressure change between areas of high and low pressure) weakens. In the western tropical Pacific, there is unusually high air pressure, while there is unusually low air pressure in the eastern tropical Pacific. This Southern Oscillation causes the trade winds to weaken, and even blow backwards. This pattern reversal leads to unusually wet weather in parts of South America, and unusually dry weather in the western Pacific.El Nino usually occurs every 3 to 7 years, and lasts for about 18 months.La Niña is the opposite of El Niño. These two weather patterns oscillate every few years.During La Niña, there is unusually low air pressure over the western tropical Pacific, and unusually high air pressure in the eastern tropical Pacific. The easterly blowing trade winds strengthen, blowing more warm water away from the equatorial Pacific. As a result, Australia and Indonesia become wetter than normal, and parts of South America become drier than normal.


Why are some places wetter than other?

Places can be wetter than others due to factors such as proximity to large bodies of water, prevailing wind patterns, topography, and climate. Areas near oceans or seas tend to be wetter because of increased moisture in the air, while mountainous regions can experience higher precipitation due to orographic lifting of air masses. Wind patterns can also bring moisture-laden air to some places, leading to increased rainfall.


How does el nino affect weather in Michigan?

El Niño in Michigan typically brings warmer and wetter conditions, resulting in milder winters with less snowfall and potentially more precipitation during the spring and summer. This can lead to an increase in flooding and storm events in the region.

Why do warmer and wetter biomes have higher net productivity?

Warmer and wetter biomes have higher net productivity because these conditions provide more sunlight, warmth, and water for photosynthesis to occur. This allows plants to grow more efficiently and produce more biomass, leading to higher net productivity in these environments.

Is Mexico a tropical city?

No. It is within a subtropical highland climate. Having yearly average temperatures of 9-23 °C (42-69 °F) and a rainfall of 7 cm (2.8 in), it is definitely warmer and wetter than many cities in North America and Europe, but it has a comfortable climate.
