Elements OF Climate AND WEATHER Climate is decided by a region’s climate system. A climate system has few major components: the Atmosphere, the layer, the cryosphere, and the land surface. The atmosphere is that the most variable a part of the climate system. The composition and movement of gases encompassing the planet will change … Read more
Karnataka witnesses three types of Climate. The state has a dynamic and erratic weather that changes from place to place within its territory. Due to its varying geographic and physio-graphic conditions, Karnataka experiences climatic variations that range from arid to semi-arid in the plateau region, sub-humid to humid tropical in the Western Ghats and humid tropical monsoon in … Read more
Evaporation and Condensation, and so governs the degree of stability of the atmosphere. 3. As relative humidity is directly associated with the temperature of the air, it affects the character and kinds of cloud formation and precipitation. Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of an object. We tend to observe … Read more
Weather forecast There are two ways for weather forcasting: Short-range forecasting Meteorologists can make somewhat longer-term forecasts (those for 6, 12, 24, or even 48 hours) with considerable skill because they are able to measure and predict atmospheric conditions for large areas by computer. Using models that apply their accumulated expert knowledge quickly, accurately, and … Read more

Atmospheric humidity, which is the amount of water vapour or moisture in the air, is another leading climatic element, as is Precipitation. All forms of precipitation, including drizzle, rain, snow, ice crystals, and hail, are produced as a result of the condensation of atmospheric moisture that forms clouds in which some of the … Read more
Savannah Climate: A Tapestry of Warmth, Wetness, and Wildfire Savannahs, those iconic landscapes of open grasslands dotted with scattered trees, are found across the globe, from the African savannas to the Australian outback. These ecosystems are shaped by a unique climate characterized by distinct wet and dry seasons, warm temperatures, and a constant threat of … Read more
The Invisible Hand: Frictional Force and its Impact on Wind Movement Wind, a seemingly effortless flow of air, is a complex phenomenon driven by a delicate balance of forces. While pressure gradients and the Coriolis effect play significant roles in shaping wind patterns, a less obvious but equally crucial factor is frictional force. This article … Read more
The Unseen Force: Pressure Gradient and Its Role in Air Circulation The Earth’s atmosphere is a dynamic system, constantly in motion. This movement, known as air circulation, is driven by a fundamental force: the pressure gradient. Understanding this force is crucial to comprehending weather patterns, climate variations, and even the global distribution of heat and … Read more
