Module 1. Foundations of climate change: science and global response Leave the first rating How has carbon levels changed 280 ppm pre industrial revolution, now is 417 ppm. Earth has warmed 1.3 degrees since 1900 How does global warming increase sea levels Thermal expansion, changes in ground water storage as we use this water for drinking, glacier ice loss, Greenland ice loss, and Antarctic ice loss (melting from the bottom). Around 160 billion tonnes of water added a year. 90 percen...

IPS1501 Assignment 4 Year Module (Due: 28 August 2023) Which of the following conditions would lead to a motion that is NOT geostrophic flow? a. motion near the surface b. being in the Southern Hemisphere c. straight, parallel isobars d. Pressure gradient force cancels the Coriolis force e. the absence of friction For geostrophic flow the wind moves parallel to the isobars with the lower pressures on the _____ if you are looking in the direction the wind is blowing toward. Which wind f...
