• 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...

Thus, for example, fairly confident and precise predictions can be made about how changes in consumers' preferencesor in technology are likely to affect demand, supply, and equilibrium output, but only under conditions of perfect competition. Although the model of the firm under conditions of perfect competition is the starting point of the theory of supply in microeconomics, it is generally accepted thatmarkets are not usually characterized by pe...

• Initiatrice de la civilisation européenne grâce à l'héritage de l'Antiquité, puis grâce à l'éclat des principautés de la Renaissance, l'Italie n'a acquis son unité et son indépendance qu'en 1861.

  montagnes calcaires de la Toscane, les reliefs volcaniques du Latium et de la Campanie, coupés de bassins (Florence), précèdent les plaines côtières bonifiées (Maremme). L'Italie insulaire se compose de petits archipels et de deux grandes îles très différentes. La Sicile semble prolonger le relief apennin avec la juxtaposition d'un bourrelet montagneux au nord, du massif volcanique de l'Etna et d'un vaste ensemble de collines monotones dans tout le reste de l'île.

  INTRODUCTION I - L’identification du droit de la famille On a tendance à considérer qu’il existe trois piliers du droit civil :  la famille  le contrat  la propriété Le contrat (art 1100-1) et la propriété (art 544) ont une définition dans le Code civil mais la notion de famille ne dispose pas de définition. Le livre 1er du code civil “Des personnes” va parler du mariage, du divorce, de la filiation, de l’autorité parentale. Cela relève du droit de la famille mais ils ne sont pas ab...

  'You'd better slip on your pants and run,' he said. He went out. I got up and moved about, listening to him through the wall. He entered the sitting-room, toward the door. 'Aren't you ready yet?' 'Not yet. Run along. I'll make it.' He went out. The door closed. His feet went down the corridor. Then I could hear the watch again. I quit moving around and went to the window and drew thecurtains aside and watched them running for chapel, the same ones fighting the same heaving coat-s...

• Penguin - biology.

  B Parents and Offspring Once female penguins lay their eggs, both the parents incubate the eggs. The incubation period varies according to species, ranging from 33 days for the little penguinto about 63 days for the emperor penguin. In most medium-sized penguins incubation takes 35 to 38 days. The incubation routine is highly variable among penguinspecies, although in general both sexes participate in incubation and feeding of young. Male and female Adélie penguins take turns incubating their e...

• Amérique centrale.

  courant du Pérou, ou courant de Humboldt, longeant la côte péruvienne, rafraîchit l’air, l’empêchant ainsi d’absorber une grande quantité de vapeur d’eau et réduisant leséventuelles précipitations. Au contraire, la température élevée de la mer des Antilles permet une importante absorption de l’humidité par l’air, qui est ensuite acheminée parles vents d’est (alizés) qui soufflent en permanence. Une importante condensation se forme, provoquant des pluies, lorsque l’air acheminé par les vents pass...

• Organic Chemistry - chemistry.

  B Alkenes and Alkynes Isomeric with the cyclanes, or cycloalkanes as they are sometimes called, is the family of alkenes, also represented by the general formula C nH2n. This family of hydrocarbons is characterized by one or more double bonds between carbon atoms. Propene and cyclopropane, for example, are isomers, as are 1,3-dimethylcyclohexane and 3,4-dimethyl-2-hexene. (The location of the double bond is indicated by the 2-hexene part of the name.) Double bonds may also occur incyclic compou...

• Napoleonic Wars .

  Before the effect of British sea power could be manifest, however, Napoleon increased his power over the Continent.

• Electric Motors and Generators.

  the armature. It is often desirable to generate as high a voltage as possible, and rotating armatures are not practical in such applications because of the possibility of sparkingbetween brushes and slip rings and the danger of mechanical failures that might cause short circuits. Alternators are therefore constructed with a stationary armaturewithin which revolves a rotor composed of a number of field magnets. The principle of operation is exactly the same as that of the AC generator described,...

• Sound I INTRODUCTION Sound, physical phenomenon that stimulates the sense of hearing.

  A fundamental law of harmony states that two notes an octave apart, when sounded together, produce a pleasant-sounding combination. Other combinations of notescan also be pleasing. Physically, an interval of a fifth consists of two notes, the frequencies of which bear the arithmetical ratio 3 to 2, and a major third, the ratio 5 to4. Fundamentally, the law of harmony states that two or more notes sound pleasant when played together if their frequencies bear small, whole number ratios; if thefreq...

• Courts in the United States.

  The term circuit derives from the original structure of these courts. Under the Judiciary Act of 1789, trials of certain cases were required to be held before three-judge circuit courts consisting of two Supreme Court justices and the federal trial judge in the district court. In addition to their regular duties, Supreme Court justices were required to ride circuit, traveling from district to district within their assigned circuit, often covering great distances. In 1891 Congress establishe...

A drupe develops from an ovary with a single carpel and is characterized by an edible exocarp and mesocarp and an inedible, hard endocarp, or pit that encloses asingle seed. Cherries, peaches, apricots, and plums are examples of drupes. Almonds also are classified as drupes, but in a...

  which means that their body temperature depends on the temperature of the surrounding environment. Few species can tolerate temperatures below 4°C (40°F) orabove 40°C (104°F), and many species can survive only within a narrower range of temperatures. In addition, frogs’ thin, moist skin offers little protection againstwater loss, and when on land the animals must guard against drying out. Many frogs are active at night because temperatures are cooler and humidity is higher thanduring the day. In...

• Antelope - biology.

  antelopes still display complex patterns of behavior, although much of it is instinctive rather than learned. In open habitats, antelopes run a high risk of predation (being preyed upon). To survive they use several kinds of defensive strategy, including living in herds. Herd living ensures that many pairs of eyes and ears are on the alert for danger. Herd living also gives individuals a better chance of avoiding attack, because predators canchoose from many potential targets. When danger thre...

• Shark - biology.

  Sharks have two-chambered hearts that are relatively small compared to the rest of their bodies. Blood flows from the heart to the gills, where it collects oxygen fromwater and then distributes it to the other organs and tissues. The small heart produces weak blood pressure, and many sharks must swim continuously to create themuscular contractions needed to circulate blood throughout their bodies. Most sharks are cold-blooded—that is, they do not generate heat by digesting food. Instead, the bod...

  III HISTORY OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE A Origins One thing is clear about the political theory underpinning the electoral college: The framers of the Constitution could not agree on one. From the outset, the framerswere uncertain about how the president should be chosen. Meeting in the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1787, the framers originally decidedto have Congress choose the president, and that there should be no popular vote to elect the president. Then the Con...
