The frost line —also known as frost depth or freezing depth —is most commonly the depth to which the groundwater in soil is expected to freeze. The frost depth depends on the climatic conditions of an area, the heat transfer properties of the soil and adjacent materials, and on nearby heat sources. For example, snow cover and asphalt ...
The California Current (Spanish: Corriente de California) is a cold water Pacific Ocean current that moves southward along the western coast of North America, beginning off southern British Columbia and ending off southern Baja California Sur. It is considered an Eastern boundary current due to the influence of the North American coastline on ...
After a brief return to average temperatures, Heathrow Airport and Kew Gardens rose to 36.4 °C (97.5 °F) on August 7, at the time the ninth hottest temperature on record, and a temperature of at least 34.0 °C (93.2 °F) was recorded somewhere in the UK for six consecutive days. 36.2 °C (97.2 °F) was again reached near Crawley, West Sussex ...

Time zones of the world. A time zone is an area which observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial and social purposes. Time zones tend to follow the boundaries between countries and their subdivisions instead of strictly following longitude, because it is convenient for areas in frequent communication to keep the same time.
In Southern California, the temperature differences are approximately 4 °F in winter and 23 °F (2 °C and 13 °C) in summer. At the coast in Santa Monica , the average high in August is 75 °F (24 °C), while in Burbank , approximately 10 miles (16 km) inland, the average high in August is 95 °F (35 °C): a temperature gain of about two ...
Daylight saving time (DST), also referred to as daylight saving (s), daylight savings time, daylight time (United States and Canada), or summer time (United Kingdom, European Union, and others), is the practice of advancing clocks to make better use of the longer daylight available during summer so that darkness falls at a later clock time. [1 ...
The current annual GMST is about 15 °C (59 °F), [6] though monthly temperatures can vary almost 2 °C (4 °F) above or below this figure. [7] The data clearly shows a rising trend in global average surface temperatures (i.e. global warming) and this is due to emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities.
