Monsoons

Wind Munsoon / Moonsun / Monsoon is the wind that blows periodically (at least 3 months ) and between periods one another pattern would change the direction opposite that is the opposite of each half year. Usually during the first half onshore winds blow dry and a half years following the wet sea breeze blowing. (Wikipedia)      The monsoon is a wind that blows once every 6 months and always changing directions. In Indonesia there are two monsoons, namely: Process of monsoon winds west      Blowing every October to March, when the apparent position of the sun in the southern hemisphere. This causes the maximum air pressure in Asia and the minimum air pressure in Australia, then the wind went from Asia to Australia (high to low pressure). As it winds through the Indian Ocean, then the wind contains a lot of water vapor, so that the October to March rainy season in Indonesia occurred.   Process of monsoon winds eas...

The Process of Rain

Here is the process of rain: 1. Heat from the sun (Air Yawn) The sun is a natural part of the contents. The sun is always shining on the earth by the heat of the effects of heat, so the heat of the sun can be water lakes, rivers and oceans evaporates into the air. Apart from the lake water river and sea water to evaporate into the air can also be caused also from the human body, animals and plants other objects containing water. 2. The air temperature is high (water vapor into solid - formed cloud) Temperatures in Indonesia belong to class of high air temperatures consequently the hot sun will make the water vapor condenses (compaction) and into a dew. Dew is formed of dots ir small that the higher temperatures make the dots of each gathering dew would condense and form into clouds. According to the study Neilburger 1995, at this stage, the water droplets have a size of a radius of about 5-20 mm. In this size of water droplets will fall at a speed of 0.01 to 5 cm ...

Soil Klassification

Image
One soil classification system that has been developed United States known as: Soil Taxonomy (USDA, 1975; Satff Soil Survey, 1999; 2003). This classification system uses six (6) kateori, namely: 1. Order (Order) 2. suborder (Sub-Order) 3. Group (Great group) 4. Sub-group (subgroup) 5. Family (Family) 6. Series. Distinguishing characteristics Each Category: Category Order Land: Order of the soil horizon are distinguished by the presence or absence identifier and type (nature) of the identifier horizon. For example: a land that has argillic horizon and berkejenuhan bases greater than 35% belong to the order Alfisol. While other lands who have argillic horizon but berkejenuhan base of less than 35% belong to the order Ultisol. Examples of nomenclature ground Order categories: Ultisol. (Note: the ground has argillic horizon and berkejenuhan base less than 35% and has developed ground-level end = Ultus). Name order Ultisol on nomenclature for the sub category of the order will be use...
