What is wind and what are localised winds? Find out about the global cycles which take winds right across the world. Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. Wind begins with the difference in air pressure. Air moves from areas of high...

This video provides an introduction to El Nino and La Nina, two climate patterns in the Pacific Ocean. It explains how these patterns occur, their impacts on global weather patterns, and discusses whether 2021 and 2022 are El Nino or La...

Science Kids Birds and Bird Migration V1-0003

Birds migrate along specific flyways, with some following wind patterns while others rely on landmarks. Songbirds like the black pole warbler use tailwinds in spring to reach their...

Water is the fundamental ingredient for life on Earth. Looking at our Earth from space, with its vast and deep ocean, it appears as though there is an abundance of water for our use. However, only a small portion of Earth's water...

The monsoon is a seasonal rain and wind pattern that occurs over South Asia (among other places). Through NASA satellites and models we can see the monsoon patterns like never before. Monsoon rains provide important reservoirs of water...

In this video, we explore the phenomenon of sun showers, where it rains while the sun is still shining. We delve into the myths and legends surrounding sun showers from different cultures around the world. Additionally, we uncover the...

If you compare precipitation around the world with population distribution we can understand a simple but powerful pattern of human geography: where there is water, there are people. But it gets a little more complicated because where...

Dive into the science of ocean currents (including the Global Conveyor Belt current), and find out how climate change affects them. -- In 1992, a cargo ship carrying bath toys got caught in a storm. Shipping containers washed...

Delve into the fascinating world of ocean currents, from surface flows influenced by wind patterns to deep currents driven by water density. Learn about the crucial role of currents in regulating global climate and distributing...

Over a thousand tornadoes happen every year in the United States but only few dozen take lives. Most tornadoes are brief and weak but the tornadoes that are large and powerful can wipe homes off their foundations. Tornadoes only come...

What is the Coriolis effect? How is it produced and how does it affect our weather? Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. The way wind blows determines thunderstorms to hurricanes. The Coriolis Effect is a deflection of moving mass...

Warming ocean water is weakening a major current system called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which helps regulate global weather. Melting ice in Greenland and freshwater from rivers are making the ocean less...

In this video, we explore the fascinating world of constellations and their significance throughout history. From their role in timekeeping and navigation to their influence on astrology, constellations have played a crucial part in...

In this video, the teacher explains the essential element of ice ages - ice. They discuss how water transforms into ice at its freezing point when enough heat is removed, causing molecules to form a rigid pattern and create a solid...

This video explores the concept of migration, highlighting how animals, including humans, migrate for various reasons. It delves into the migratory patterns of ducks, fish, and even planets. Additionally, it discusses the ancient...

In the United States, there are two different groups of hurricane hunters that fly into tropical storms and hurricanes to gather weather data. They use different planes and fly different patterns, but they all collect data in tropical...

This video discusses the use of polygraphs or lie detectors in police interrogations. It explains how the polygraph operates by measuring physiological responses such as heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, and perspiration. However,...

Antarctica, the highest, driest, coldest, and windiest continent on Earth, is a land of extremes. With 99.6% of its surface covered in ice, it offers unique conditions for climate research. International scientists and researchers...

This live-action video program explores the different climates found on earth. Through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels, viewers will come to understand how weather, landforms and...

A team of scientists is rushing to preserve a vital record of the planet that is literally melting away. Around the world, the team is extracting ice cores from glaciers that are disappearing. ➡ Subscribehttp://bit.ly/NatGeoSubscribe'...
