It is typically characterized by cooler than normal eastern equatorial Indian Ocean and warmer than normal west and unusual equatorial easterly winds.
The 9×57mm Mauser is a cartridge based on the 7.92×57mm Mauser.It uses the identical 57 mm-long cartridge case, with the same shoulder angle, but necked up to accept a 9 mm-diameter bullet.
The 9.3×57mm was created by necking up the 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge. The 9.3×57mm (bullet diameter .365 in.), introduced in 1900, is closely related to the 9×57mm Mauser, even though some dimensions of the cartridge case are slightly different.
The longest known male tusk is 4.05 m (13.3 ft) long (measured along the outside curve) and weighs 115.5 kg (255 lb), with a historical report of a 4.30 m (14.1 ft) long tusk found in Siberia, while the heaviest tusk is 121 kg (267 lb), suggested to have been 125–130 kg (276–287 lb) when complete; [53] [54] 2.4–2.7 m (7 ft 10 in – 8 ft ...
The density at the surface is 65 kg/m 3 (4.1 lb/cu ft), 6.5% that of water [88] or 50 times as dense as Earth's atmosphere at 293 K (20 °C; 68 °F) at sea level. The CO 2 -rich atmosphere generates the strongest greenhouse effect in the Solar System, creating surface temperatures of at least 735 K (462 °C; 864 °F).
The average mass of an adult human is 59 kg (130 lb) for females and 77 kg (170 lb) for males. [161] [162] Like many other conditions, body weight and body type are influenced by both genetic susceptibility and environment and varies greatly among individuals. [163] [164] Humans have a far faster and more accurate throw than other animals. [165]

The highest temperature recorded in Skagway is 92 °F or 33.3 °C in three separate years, most recently in 2019, and the lowest is −24 °F or −31.1 °C on February 2, 1947.
