Ocean currents are a result of the Earth’s rotation and the winds. Ocean currents play a very important role in our climate and weather. Generally, the warm ocean currents originate near the equator, while the cold currents are found near the poles. There are several ocean currents types and each with its own unique set […]

Introduction  Savannah (also spelled savanna), also known as the Sudan Climate, is a Tropical Grassland with distinct wet and dry seasons. This type of climate is found in the transitional, and it is confined to the Tropic of Capricorn and Tropic of Cancer. Regions in the Tropics such as Africa, Australia, Brazil, South America, and

Introduction Temperate continental grasslands are plains with grasses and without trees (other than those near water bodies). The climate of these types of grassland is temperate, ranging from semi-arid to semi-humid. They play a role in the survival of many species (both flora and fauna). Temperate continental grasslands also serve an important role in managing

The world climate can be divided into 8 major regions. These are the Equatorial region climate, the Savanna climate, the Desert climate, the Mediterranean climate, the Steppe climate, the Siberian climate, the Tundra climate and the Tropical Monsoon climate. In this article, we will be reading about the Climatic Region: Desert climate. A Desert is

Global climate can be classified into twelve categories based on the climatic conditions. This classification is mostly done on the basis of latitude margins, rainfall regime (character of the seasonal distribution of rainfall in a region) and the natural vegetation. One of the global climatic conditions is the British type of climate. This type of

Masses of landforms can be described in a few clear, concise words: they are large, physical objects that have been shaped by wind, water, and time. Different masses can be formed from various materials, including Earth, ice, snow, and rock. Earth is constantly moving and changing, so it is important to keep track of its

What is the biosphere? This may seem like a simple question, but it has a complex answer. The biosphere is all of the Earth’s ecosystems and the living things within them. It includes both the land and water environments, as well as the atmosphere. The biosphere is important because it supports all life on Earth.

Like all other natural events, precipitation also has its mechanisms. That implies, how does precipitation happen? How does the form of water come to the earth from the sky? It is so obvious that at first, the water gets evaporated, then the clouds get formed, after that, the cloud gets condensed and turns into water.

The Earth comprises several layers, which are separated by a solid core. The outermost layer is the Earth’s crust, which comprises rock, ice, and other materials. The crust floats on the mantle, a thick layer of rock below it.  The mantle is, in turn, divided into two parts: the outer mantle and the inner mantle.

Latitude is a circle drawn on a map that runs perpendicular to the Equator, often known as a parallel. Concerning maps, latitudes are measured from north to south. Their names derive from the angle that forms a line that connects the Earth’s latitude to the Equator, and the other way around. To know where you
