Chapter 13: Weather Systems

Temperature and Weather Systems



A surplus of heat marks the equatorial and tropical latitudes, bringing forth the energy to carry along winds, evaporating and carrying substantial amounts of seawater in the process. Due to a surplus of water vapour, gathering of trade winds and recurrent convection, heavy rains seen in the tropics are produced. Not restricted to low-latitude weather systems, the thermometer seen in the picture represents the general concept of weather tracking and humanity’s preoccupation with weather systems.
