• La zone intertropicale forme un milieu climatique avec une chaleur constante et, en dehors d'une bande équatoriale toujours pluvieuse, avec un rythme annuel de précipitations qui diminue au fur et à mesure que l'on se rapproche des tropiques, sauf dans l'Asie des moussons.

  température - La température terrestre Une forte humidité. Si le climat tropical est caractérisé par la chaleur, il l'est également par l'humidité. Celle-ci résulte des températures élevées, puisque seul l'air chaud est physiquement capable de contenir beaucoup de vapeur d'eau, avant que celle-ci ne se condense. Il pleut en effet d'autant plus que l'air est chargé de vapeur d'eau et que des mouvements d'ascendance de cet air humide se développent, provoquant la condensation et la formation des...

• changes in precipitation

  The Caribbean is located around 20°N and therefore is in a low pressure zone. This means that due to temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico increasing rapidly, the air started rising and cooling in the atmosphere, causing the formation of clouds due to the moist air. This excess moist air fueled the hurricane and its wind caused it to move upwards towards Florida.

  The Truckee, Carson, and Walker rivers flow out of the Sierra Nevada, thread their way around several of the desert ranges, and also end in closed basins. The Walkerflows into Walker Lake, the Carson into Lahontan Reservoir. The major part of the Truckee’s flow is now diverted to Lahontan Reservoir, although as required by lawsome of it empties into Pyramid Lake. Because these three streams flow constantly, the lakes into which they empty never dry up. Winnemucca Lake formerly receivedoverflow w...
