The mesosphere extends from the stratopause to 80–85 km. Most meteoroids get burnt in this layer. Temperature decreases with height in the mesosphere. The mesopause, the temperature minimum...
The stratosphere is the second major layer of Earth’s atmosphere, just above the troposphere, and below the mesosphere. It is called stratosphere because it is stratified in temperature,...
Troposphere is the lowest portion of Earth’s atmosphere and contains approximately 80% of the atmosphere’s mass and 99% of its water vapour and aerosols. The average depth of...
Earth’s atmosphere is mainly consisted of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon, which together constitute the major gases of the atmosphere. The remaining gases are often referred to as trace...
Tides move water, bringing water in and taking water out. Understanding the cycles and effects of tides on fish helps in better fishing. The full and new moons...
Tidal flows as well as Tidal heights are of profound importance in navigation and very significant errors in position will occur if they are not taken into account....
For any particular location, their height and fluctuation in time depends to varying degrees on the location of the Sun and the Moon, and to the details of...
Tides are a result of gravitational pull by both Sun and Moon, but the pull exerted by Sun is apparently weak. This is because of the larger distance...
The main effect of temperature differences on the earth occurs in a north-south direction i.e. from equator to poles. Warm equatorial waters therefore move slowly along the surface...
The current systems of the Indian Ocean are largely controlled and modified by landmasses and monsoon winds. Indian Ocean being surrounded by the Indian subcontinent, Africa and Australia...
