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,
Answer:
Ovaries, Uterus, Testes
Explanation:
Ovaries are what carry the Zygote's (eggs) and the Uterus is where a fertelized grows into a baby. If the egg is not fertilized in a certain amount of time the egg becomes infertile, the body goes through a 3-7 day cycle of menstruation. The Testes are the organs (balls) which carry sperm cells, which will fertilized a healthy egg.
Answer:
B. A small fraction of the energy is transferred to higher trophic levels, majority stays in the lower trophic levels
Explanation:
Energy transfer between trophic levels is insufficient. When an organism is eaten by another organism, not all of the biomass of prey forms the biomass of the predator. Majority of the energy is released into environment during cellular respiration. Some of the matter also remains undigested and is not used by the predator. Thus, only 10% of energy available at one level is transferred to the next level. So when we keep on moving up in a food chain, energy available keeps on decreasing.
Answer:
Due to lack of nutrients in the soil.
Explanation:
Within a few years the forest was dying because there is no nutrient is present in the soil which can trigger the growth and development of the sol. The fallen parts of trees such as branches, tree and leaves etc are decomposed by decomposers such as bacteria and fungi which turn the fallen materials into nitrogenous materials which can be used by the plant for its growth and development.
