Climate variation in different parts of the world has led to the occurrence of different tree and animals species. Miller’s classification gives different categories of climate for example tundra climate montane climate and temperate climates among others. Strahler (1984) argues that the montane climate has a role to play on the mid-latitude biomes. What are other major roles that montane climate plays in the development of mid-latitude biomes apart from just conserving water for use during summer? Since it is argued that the hydrological circle is responsible for the water balance in the earth’s surface the atmosphere, the seas, and under groundwater. This is almost contradicting Stahler’s argument that it is the montane climate have a role to play no the mid-latitude biomes
Human activities like cleaning of bushland for settlement have led to encroachment of arid conditions to otherwise productive land. How can Agro forestry be used to improve the climate of Arid and semi-arid places of the world? Many scholars point out that agroforestry is the best method of taming the encroachment of desert-like conditions. Unless properly elaborated and put in practice climate change will forever occur and the productive land will go to waste. This, therefore, calls for appropriate discussions on the relationship between agroforestry and the improvement of climate conditions in arid and semi-arid regions of the world
Urbanization also leads to the creation of the urban microclimate. To what extent does the urban microclimate lead to the current drastic change in world climatic zones? If all the urbanization process leads to world climatic change then there is a need for decentralization of industries to avoid the urbanization process. This may have a great impact on tight against the continued global warming and the effect of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. This will also discourage the discharge of chlorofluorocarbons into the major rivers hence boosting up the hydrological cycle.
Weather in desert regions or even in high latitudes is always very harsh, for instance, serious sand storms, snowfall, or very high temperatures. What are the possible immediate weather variations that can be experienced in the adjacent regions and how can they affect the daily activities in the regions. There are always automatic effects like sand storms high temperatures and very cold temperatures. There is a need for further investigations for other effects and how to manage them to improve the affected regions, without any interference of the daily human and animal life in the regions.
The atmosphere has four different layers that are the mesosphere, thermosphere ionosphere, and stratosphere. There is always a positive environmental lapse rate at the first layer then the trend changes to a negative lapse rate and the change continues through to the uppermost layers. What is the relationship between this change and the atmosphere? For these changes to occur there must be some variation in the pressure system in these distance layers of the atmosphere.
Frontal rainfall is always experienced in regions with a low-pressure system. How is the low-pressure system responsible for the availability of the condensation nuclei: for the formation of clouds? Most of the time the condensation nuclei are found in regions of very low temperature or above the oceans where they occur as salt sprays in the atmosphere when the water is heated extensively. It low-pressure system can be considered as a factor facilitating the development of condensation nuclei, then are there other important factors that favor the presence of condensation nuclei for other types of rainfall or other forms of precipitation
