POLAR REGION
The polar regions have a polar climate characterized by lack of warm summers, with average monthly temperatures below 10°C. They cover over 20% of the Earth's surface and result in treeless tundra, glaciers, or permanent ice layers. Precipitation is also very low due to cold air's inability to hold much water vapor, with some areas receiving under 10 inches annually like subtropical deserts. Housing must be built on poles driven into the frozen permafrost ground, while inhabitants live in igloos or skin tents depending on the season.
polar climate region
Polar climate regions are found at the North and South poles and are characterized by long, cold winters with very little precipitation. They have average temperatures below 10°C year-round. Two main types are tundra climate, which has at least one month above 0°C, allowing some plants to grow, and ice cap climate, where no month rises above freezing and only ice exists. Locations include coastal Greenland with tundra climate and Antarctica which has a predominant ice cap climate. Fauna in the regions have adapted thick fur/feathers and ability to maintain body heat.

Desert
Deserts occur in broad belts around 30 degrees north and south of the equator, where global circulation patterns result in descending dry air. They receive less than 250mm of rain per year. Deserts form due to high surface temperatures, which cause greater evaporation, and topography such as rain shadows behind mountain ranges. Common desert landforms include mesas, buttes, wadis, alluvial fans, playa lakes, inselbergs, and bolsons. Erosion by wind abrasion and deflation shapes the landscape over time, creating features like ventifacts and yardangs.

Desert, types of desert, land forms, dunes and types of dunes
A desert is defined as a region that receives less than 250-500 mm of precipitation per year. Deserts form due to global circulation patterns that result in subsiding air over subtropical regions, limiting rainfall. Key factors that influence desert formation include high surface temperatures, topography such as rain shadows, and proximity to cold ocean currents. Deserts are characterized by sparse vegetation and unique landforms shaped by wind and water erosion like sand dunes, playas, and yardangs. Common desert types include hot subtropical deserts near the horse latitudes, mid-latitude deserts, and coastal deserts near cold ocean currents.
Aeolian process and landform by shivam soni B.Sc student of Department of App...
Wind processes produce eolian landforms. One third of the planet's land is arid or semi-arid. Wind action can be divided into erosion, transportation, and deposition. Erosion includes deflation, abrasion, and attrition which produce features like yardangs, ventifacts, and desert pavement. Transportation occurs by saltation, suspension, and surface creep. Deposition forms sand seas and sheets. Sand dunes depend on wind strength and direction, and come in various shapes that can migrate over time.

Deserts
1. Deserts occur in areas where evaporation exceeds precipitation, covering about 30% of the Earth's surface.
2. Deserts are classified based on average annual precipitation, ranging from extremely arid with no rain for 12 months to semi-arid with 250-500 mm of rain.
3. Hot deserts near the Tropics have large daily temperature variations without cloud cover, while cold deserts have mild to warm summers and very cold winters.
Chapter18 wind erosion and deposition
This chapter discusses landforms and geomorphic processes in arid regions. It notes that while running water is more effective than wind at shaping the landscape, wind still plays an important role in desert environments where vegetation is sparse. Some key landforms created by fluvial processes include arroyos, alluvial fans, and playas in interior basins. Eolian processes form dunes, yardangs, and loess deposits. Deserts also exhibit features related to tectonic uplift and erosion over long time periods, like inselbergs and pediments. Together, the interplay of fluvial, eolian and tectonic forces sculpt diverse landscapes in the world's arid regions.

The physical environment chapter discusses the components that make up Earth's physical environment: land, air, water, and the living environment. It describes key landforms like mountains and rivers, as well as geological processes that create and modify landforms such as plate tectonics, folding, volcanism, and erosion. Weathering and erosion by forces such as water, wind, and plant growth gradually break rocks into sediment and transport material from one place to another over long periods of time, shaping the surface of the planet. Human activities and settlement patterns are also influenced by landforms and geological characteristics of different regions.

Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them.

By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
