...Although the greater area of each tongue remains at uniform specific humidities, the extremities tend to undergo changes. At the southern ends of the dry tongues heat is lost and dry air descends from the upper regions. The northern ends of the wet tongues tend to condense, pass mois ture to the dry tongues. As the tongues exchange heat and moisture and as atmospheric currents follow the rotation of the earth, transverse currents of air are generated. Theoretically these currents cut across the more stable air tongues, dividing each air tongue into three parts or "cells" - a centre cell...
...cold, absolute zero (zero on the Kelvin scale), comes out at - 273.13° on the arbitrary Centigrade scale (zero for the freezing point of water, 100 for the boiling point). Scientists have not quite chilled matter to absolute zero, and never expect to. Nevertheless, researches in cryogenics (low tempera ture) are important to the study of entropy, which is defined as the degree of randomness or lack of organization in the energy distribution of a closed system. The third law of thermodynamics states that at absolute zero there must be no entropy. The particles have two kinds of motion, random...
