The atmosphere transfers heat energy and moisture across the Earth. Incoming solar radiation (insolation) is redistributed from areas in which there is a surplus of heat (the equator) to areas where there is a heat deficit (the North and South Pole). This is achieved through a series of atmospheric cells: the Hadley cell, the Ferrel cell and the Polar cell (Figure 2). These operate in a similar way to, and indeed interact with, the ocean conveyor.
For example, as the oceans at low latitudes are heated, water evaporates and is transported poleward as water vapour. This warm air eventually cools and subsides. Changes in temperature and CO2 concentrations can lead to: changes in the size of atmospheric cells (in particular, the Hadley cell is susceptible to these alterations); warming in the troposphere; and disproportionately strong warming in Arctic regions. The strong interactions between ocean and atmospheric dynamics, and the significant feedback mechanisms between them, mean that climate researchers must consider these Earth components as interlinked systems. The necessity to assess ocean-atmospheric changes at the global scale has implications for the way in which research is conducted. It is only by integrating palaeo evidence of past changes, with present day monitoring, and projected models,
A mutation is one form of genetic variation.
This is the answer from google!!! hope this helped
Yea of course the use one
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
It occurs over many generations.
It happens at the genetic level.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- <em><u>Evolution is the process that involves change in the inherited traits of a population over generations. </u></em>
- <em><u>The traits involved are the expressions of genes that are copied and passed from the parents to the offspring during reproduction process. Mutations in these genes results to new traits and thus heritable differences among organisms.</u></em>
- <em><u>Therefore, evolution will only occur when there is change in gene frequency within a population over a given period of time. Genetic differences that are heritable are passed to the next generation.</u></em>
