Coalescence

Coalescing means the pulling together of separate masses to become one bigger mass.

Explanation:

As water vapor rises into the upper cooler atmosphere, it cools and condenses into moisture droplets. These tiny droplets collide with each other, due to gravity, vertical motions and wind, to form larger droplets. This is even enhanced if there are seed particles in the air that allows the formation of larger droplets. When the droplets get large enough for gravity to act on them, they fall as precipitation.

If there are strong updrafts, the cloud could carry even larger droplets before precipitation which is what happens in the case of thunderstorms.

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.
