Wind turbines use the energy of the wind and convert it into electricity. In doing so, they use the physical principle of buoyancy. Author: ZDF/Pur+/Autorenkombinat/Tobias Schönke/Rita Gerhardus-Faust/Jochen Schmidt Translation and dubbing: alugha Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com
Learn how Earth’s rotation causes the Coriolis effect, with this video from NOVA. Use this resource to visualize the abstract concept of the Coriolis effect and to provide opportunities for students to use evidence to support a claim about the influence of the Coriolis effect on hurricanes, jet stre
The climatic phenomenon known as El Niño is a disruption of the ocean-atmosphere system in the tropical Pacific that impacts weather and climate around the globe. An El Niño occurs every four to twelve years, causes die-offs of plankton and fish, and affects Pacific jet-stream winds, altering storm
Learn what comets are and how they inform us about the early solar system, in this video adapted from NASA. Comets, which are made of frozen gases, ice, dust, and rock, are typically in a deep freeze in the outer solar system. But when a comet nears the Sun, it loses streams of gases and forms a com
Colorful bursts of energy above thunderstorms called transient luminous events can be observed from the International Space Station. Instruments on the station are helping scientists study these particle outbursts, which may prove useful to better understand our climate, weather, and the behaviors o
