The position of a place north or south of the equator is measured in ?

1 answer:

4 0

<span>The positions north and south are measured in degrees latitude. Opposite to this, west and east of greenwich is measured in degrees longitude. That's why when determining a position you would say that something is 40 degrees north and 74 degrees west, and this exact position would point to New York City. The first number is how north above the equator it is and the second number how much west from Greenwich it is. </span>

What are the cycles that have historically controlled natural climate variability? List the name of each cycle, its natural time

Verdich [7]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

Climate oscillation or climate cycles are a recurring oscillation within the global or regional climates and their fluctuations produce varying climatic cells and pressures often occurring on an interannual and multi annular basis.

On a decadal and millennium timescales.Current examples of the ENSO, Pacific oscillation, Antarctica, and arctic oscillation. like ENSO is characterized by flooding and drought conditions and the distribution of extreme conditions in the form of heat and cold waves.

Other cycles like the Piora oscillation, Little ice age, medieval warm period, retreating of glaciers and warming of the planet. All these cycles move on earth from the equator to tropics to temperate to polar areas and the continuous warming and cooling periods have altered the rate of spreading of the seafloor and oceanic basin.

Present warming has drastically created a major change in the evolution of species causing extinction and quick decomposition of resources. The release of carbon and methane gases over these years have raised the greenhouse effect at alarming rates.
