Sentences with phrase «made near the poles»

Ice cores can be made near the poles and at a few elevated low latitude locations as well.

Not exact matches

Observations made by NASA's Lunar Prospector orbiter in the late 1990s identified hydrogen - rich areas near the moon's poles but could not determine whether that hydrogen was bound up in water or was present in some other form.

However radar observations have shown that lakes cover only a few per cent of the surface and are concentrated near the poles, making Titan much drier than Earth.

Comparing these two images, it can be seen that the terrain near the south pole is more heavily cratered while some of the region near the north pole shows less cratered, smooth plains material, consistent with the general observations of the poles made by Mariner 10.

This makes it possible for the Sun to rotate faster at its equator (about 25 days) than it does at higher latitudes (about 35 days near its poles).

This snowpack accumulation near the poles, which gets its water via the Arctic and Antarctic oceans, that in turn rob it from equatorial latitudes of our oceans, also results in a reduction in the earth's spin axis moment of inertia and causes the spin rate to increase as evidenced in the recent history of the rate at which Leap Seconds are added to our calendar (see Wysmuller's Toucan Equation for more on this evidence that during this warm time with much greater polar humidity, earlier seasonal, later seasonal and heavier snows are beginning to move water vapor from the oceans to the poles to re-build the polar ice caps and lead us into a global cooling, while man - made CO2 continues to increase http://www.colderside.com/faq.htm).

Notice that one way the system can avoid increasing its average temperature is by making the temperature more unevenly distributed — an extremely hot place far to the pole can radiate so effectively as to more than balance out a comparably cool place near the pole.
