The Ozone Layer: Protecting Ourselves from the Sun's Fury The ozone layer, a fragile shield in the Earth's stratosphere, protects us from the harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted by the sun. This radiation can cause sunburn, skin cancer, cataracts, and damage ecosystems. Understanding the threats to the ozone layer and international efforts to mitigate them is crucial for safeguarding our planet.
Introduction : Temperate cyclones, also known as extratropical cyclones, mid-latitude cyclones, or frontal cyclones, are powerful weather systems that form in the middle latitudes (between 30-60 degrees latitude) of both hemispheres. Unlike their tropical counterparts (hurricanes, typhoons), temperate cyclones derive their energy from temperature differences, not warm ocean water. This essay delves into the origin, formation process, and typical paths of temperate cyclones.
