Types of Clouds:- High Level Clouds (6 to 20 km): Cirrus (Ci) Cirrocumulus (Cc) Cirrostratus (Cs) Medium Level Clouds (2.5 to 6 km): Altocumulus (Alt-Cu) Altostratus (Alt-St) Low Level Clouds (Below 7000 feet): Stratocumulus (St-Cu) Stratus (st) Nimbostratus (Ni-St) Clouds with Vertical Development (2 to 30000 feet): Cumulus (Cu) Cumulonimbus (Cu-Ni) For more information visit: http://w...

Factors responsible for Oceanic Currents:- 1. Rotation of the Earth 2. Temperature differences: Low density water moves from equator towards pole as surface current and high density water moves toward equator from pole as sub surface current. 3. Salinity differences: Less saline water moves towards more saline water as surface current and More saline water moves towards less saline...

Ocean Currents: In the Northern Hemisphere Ocean currents move in clockwise direction In the Southern Hemisphere Ocean currents move in anti clockwise direction Those currents which flows from Equatorial region towards Pole are called Warm currents. Major warm currents are: In the Northern Hemisphere:- *North Equatorial Current: It forms between the 0 to 10 degree North Latitude,...

Interior of the Earth: The upper most layer of the earth is called Crust, It is the thinnest of all the layers. It is about 35 km on the continental masses and only 5 km on the ocean floors. The main mineral constituent of the continental mass are Silica and Alumina. It is thus called SIAL. The main mineral constituent of the ocean mass are Silica and Magnesium. It is thus called SIMA....

Types of discontinuities in earth: Conrad discontinuity: Between Sial and Sima Layer. Mohorovicic discontinuity: Between Sima and outer mantle. Repetti discontinuity: Between Outer and Inner mantle. Guttenberg Weichert discontinuity: Between Inner mantle and Outer core. Lehman discontinuity: Between Middle core and inner core....
