Some early warning systems for tsunamis relied on observing unusual animal behavior, as animals often sense seismic changes before humans do. elaborate
Latent heat is the energy absorbed or released during a phase change (like ice melting) without a change in temperature. elaborate
The jet stream, a fast-flowing, narrow air current in the atmosphere, is a type of global wind that significantly influences weather patterns on Earth. elaborate
