For El Nino VISIT HERE El Nino and La Nina La Nina Following an El Nino event, the typical return to normal weather conditions can sometimes be disrupted. In certain years, the trade winds intensify significantly, leading to an abnormal accumulation of cold water in the central and eastern Pacific. This phenomenon is known as… Read More »
Unveiling the Enigma of El Nino Enter the fascinating realm of El Nino, an intermittent climatic phenomenon characterized by the emergence of warm ocean surface waters along the shores of Ecuador and Peru. During an El Nino episode, a symphony of atmospheric changes unfolds, redefining the usual rhythms of nature. Pressure Shifts and the Dance… Read More »
Alfred Wegener’s Pioneering Continental Drift Theory In the annals of geophysics, a significant turning point arrived in 1912 when Alfred Wegener, a German geophysicist, introduced the Continental Drift Theory (CDT). Wegener’s theory reshaped our understanding of the Earth’s history and geological transformations. Wegener’s ground-breaking theory posited the existence of a colossal supercontinent named Pangaea, a… Read More »
Plate Tectonics Theory : Unveiling Earth’s Dynamic Puzzle The theory of Plate Tectonics, a cornerstone of modern geology, emerged in 1967 through the insights of McKenzie and Parker, followed by Morgan’s elucidation in 1968. It harmoniously incorporates the pre-existing notions of continental drift, convection currents, and seafloor spreading. According to this captivating theory, Earth’s lithosphere… Read More »
Jet streams are primarily formed due to significant pressure differences between air masses, large bodies of air characterized by relatively consistent temperature and moisture levels. The Coriolis force, influenced by the Earth’s rotation, plays a crucial role in shaping the behavior and direction of these high-speed aerial rivers. Jet streams are essential components of Earth’s… Read More »
CLICK HERE TO GO TO FUNCTIONS AND FORMATION OF JET STREAM AND IT’S APPLICATIONS The Polar Vortex The polar vortex, sometimes called a circumpolar vortex or polar cyclone, is a distinctive meteorological phenomenon. It manifests as a massive, cold, upper tropospheric air parcel, often extending into the lower stratosphere. This cyclonic (low-pressure) system sprawls across… Read More »
