The word oceanology might be more accurate, since “ology” is “the study of.” “Graph” is “to write” and refers to map-making. Astronomy is the study of outer space and the physical bodies beyond planet Earth. Each type of Earth scientist investigates the processes and materials of the Earth. Ask a question that is relevant to each of the fields of Earth science.

Biotic factors are the parts of the environment that are alive, or were alive and then died, such as plants, animals, and their remains. Abiotic factors are the parts of the environment that have never been alive, while biotic factors are the parts of the environment that are alive, or were alive and then died.

It then uses these results to project the weather still further into the future, as far as the meteorologists want to go. Even with numerical weather prediction, meteorologists have a difficult time predicting the path of a hurricane more than a day or two into the future.

The greater the air pressure outside the tube, the higher the mercury rises inside the tube. Weather instruments collect data from all over the world at thousands of weather stations. Other weather devices are needed to collect weather data in the atmosphere. The models analyze the data and predict the weather.

The air is dry when it reaches the leeward side of the mountain range, so there is little precipitation there. How well these needs are met in a given location depends on the growing season and soil quality, both of which are determined mainly by climate. The growing season is the period of time each year when it is warm and wet enough for plants to grow.

They would appeal to images and emotions rather than to reason Socrates and Plato would use and advocate for the use of the dialectical process of inquiry over memorization and repetition and emotional appeals to persuade the crowds.
