Oxygen atoms ringing the pore bonded to one
water molecule, which then entered the spherical cage
under high temperature and pressure (Science, DOI: 10.1126 / science.1206376).
Scientists also study

temperature.
It turns out that

high pressure and low
temperature.

Even in areas where precipitation does not decrease, these increases in surface evaporation and loss of
water from plants lead to more rapid drying of soils if the effects of
higher temperatures are not offset by other changes (such as reduced wind speed or increased humidity).5 As soil dries out, a larger proportion of the incoming heat from the sun goes into heating the soil and adjacent air rather than evaporating its moisture, resulting in hotter summers
under drier climatic conditions.6
Water and wastewater treatment yields better results
under warmer conditions, as chemical and biological reactions needed for treatment perform in general better at

The smogs were particularly bad during the winter months and when
temperature inversions built up
under high pressure, causing the pollutants to become trapped in the lower atmosphere and for
water vapour to condense around these particles.
The increased
water temperature will cause symbiotic bacteria in corals of the Great Barrier Reef to produce toxically
high levels of oxygen, which will kill colonies of coral that are centuries or even millennia old and occupy the equivalent of Japan's landmass
under water.
Stocks
Under conditions of
high pressure,
high methane concentration, and low
temperature,
water and methane can combine to form icy solids known as methane hydrates or clathrates in ocean sediments.
For example, the root system of forest trees facilitates both storage and extraction of moisture from soil; biogenic aerosols produced by trees control the intensity of
water vapor condensation over the forest; the large height of trees determines the vertical
temperature gradient
under the canopy, keeping soil evaporation
under biotic control; tall trees are also essential for surface friction that does not allow extremely
high wind velocities to develop.
It went something like this: hotel check - in, locate room, locate wifi service, attempt connection to wifi, wonder why the connection is taking so long, try again, locate phone, call front desk, get told «the internet is broken for a while», decide to hot - spot the mobile phone because some emails really needed to be sent, go «la la la» about the roaming costs, locate iron, wonder why iron
temperature dial just spins around and around, swear as iron spews
water instead of steam, find reading glasses, curse middle - aged need for reading glasses, realise iron
temperature dial is indecipherably in Chinese, decide ironing front of shirt is good enough when wearing jacket, order room service lunch, start shower, realise can't read impossible small toiletry bottle labels, damply retrieve glasses from near iron and successfully avoid shampooing hair with body lotion, change (into slightly damp shirt), retrieve glasses from shower, start teleconference, eat lunch, remember to mute phone, meet colleague in lobby at 1 pm, continue teleconference, get in taxi, endure 75 stop - start minutes to a inconveniently located client, watch unread emails climb over 150, continue to ignore roaming costs, regret tuna panini lunch choice as taxi warmth, stop - start juddering, jet - lag, guilt about unread emails and traffic fumes combine in a very unpleasant way, stumble out of over-warm taxi and almost catch hypothermia while trying to locate a very small client office in a very large anonymous business park, almost hug client with relief when they appear to escort us the last 50 metres, surprisingly have very positive client meeting (i.e. didn't throw up in the meeting), almost catch hypothermia again waiting for taxi which despite having two functioning GPS devices can't locate us on a main road, understand why as within 30 seconds we are almost rendered unconscious by the in - car exhaust fumes, discover that the taxi ride back to the CBD is even slower and more juddering at peak hour (and no, that was not a carbon monoxide induced hallucination), rescheduled the second client from 5 pm to 5.30, to 6 pm and finally 6.30 pm, killed time by drafting this guest blog (possibly carbon monoxide induced), watch unread emails climb
higher, exit taxi and inhale relatively fresher air from kamikaze motor scooters, enter office and grumpily work with client until 9 pm, decline client's gracious offer of expensive dinner, noting it is already midnight my time, observe client fail to correctly set office alarm and endure
high decibel «warning, warning» sounds that are clearly designed to send security rushing... soon... any second now... develop new form of nausea and headache from piercing, screeching, sounds - like - a-wailing-baby-please-please-make-it-stop-alarm, note the client is relishing the extra (free) time with us and is still talking about work, admire the client's ability to focus
under extreme aural pressure, decide the client may be a little too work focussed, realise that I probably am too given I have just finished work at 9 pm... but then remember the 200 unread emails in my inbox and decide I can resolve that incongruency later (in a quieter space), become sure that there are only two possibilities — there are no security staff or they are deaf — while my colleague frantically tries to call someone who knows what to do, conclude after three calls that no - one does, and then finally someone finally does and... it stops.
