The mountains can and will block airflow from higher pressure systems that come in from a coast and won't combine to nake storms
A current turns a conductor into an electromagnet. ... When the electromagnet is placed near a fixed magnet, the two sets of poles repel and attract each other. This produces a force that makes the conductor rotate (spin) at high speed. This turns a shaft, which then drives a machine.
That would be the Gobi desert.
Differences between the Troposphere and the Stratosphere:
The troposphere is the lowest level of the atmosphere, so it is in contact with the Earth’s surface. In contrast, the stratosphere is located above the troposphere, so it is not in contact with the Earth’s surface. Humans live in the troposphere, not the stratosphere. People only spend time in the stratosphere is when they are traveling through it on an airplane, or flying through it while riding in a rocket. The air density and air pressure are much lower in the stratosphere. In fact, stratospheric air is too thin for people to be able to survive without pressurized air to breathe.
A key finding from this work was that job creation in the United States was not coming from large companies, but small independently owned businesses. It recommended that government policy should target indirect rather than direct strategies with a greater focus on the role of small firms. Over the past 35 years the level of government interest in entrepreneurship and small business development as potential solutions to flagging economic growth and rising unemployment has increased. It helped to spawn a new field of academic study and research.
