Deserts belong to the most beautiful landforms ... arid regions with a mean annual precipitation of 200-400 mm in the mid-latitudes of Asia. The spatial and temporal variations of these vegetated ...

Rising annual temperatures and dwindling yearly precipitation across the mid-latitudes of Central Asia have extended its desert climate 60 miles northward since the 1980s, says a recent study.

"These findings highlight significant variations in the timing and processes of desert formation across mid-latitude Asia," he said. "Apart from arid climate conditions, differences in material ...

"When it got cold in the North Atlantic, it got wet in the mid-latitude desert regions," Putnam said. Next, Putnam and his colleagues headed south to the Himalayas of Bhutan, an area swept by the ...

However, it is still unknown whether greening in high latitudes could affect midlatitude deserts. In a paper recently published in Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters, Dr. Yongli He from the ...

and vast deserts surrounded the equator. Instead of ice sheets, polar regions had temperate climates, like those we find at mid-latitudes today. Life in the oceans, meanwhile, was not only ...

Although the time of the day might produce shadows in one direction over another, the images employed were obtained during mid-day hours (Local True Solar Time) with relatively high sun angles ...

The principal source of this Fe is thought to be dust transported from southern mid-latitude deserts. However, uncertainty exists over contributions to CO 2 sequestration from complementary Fe ...
