...central and southern Africa.) Figure 11 shows large quantities of water vapour over the regions where cloud cover can also be deduced from the IR image. What is shown in the water vapour image, Figure 11, where the IR image, Figure 9a, shows little or no cloud cover? (Hint: look at the central Indian Ocean.) The water vapour image also detects diffuse regions of moist air...

...central, unifying theme of the 'Studying mammals' series of units.

...central atomic nucleus, which contains the protons, with electrons moving around it. In this picture (or model) the electrons are arranged in layers, like the layers in an onion. Figure 12 shows a simple representation of this for the element carbon. [Figure 12] Figure 12 Chemists' simple representation of the carbon atom. The smaller dots represent electrons moving in...
