Conceptual diagram illustrating the important ecological functions that mangroves provide to the marine environment.
Mangrove ecological functions
Conceptual diagram illustrating changes due to the warming of the atmosphere. The average temperature on Earth has been increasing for many years, caused by increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Rising temperatures lead to a number of changes around the world.
Atmosphere Warming Changes
Conceptual diagram illustrating model for anthropogenic nitrogen exchanges in a watershed.

Conceptual diagram illustrating the process in which acid rain is produced.
Causes of acid rain
Conceptual diagram illustrating the sources of pollution and the effective practices in managing them.
Managing pollution
Illustration of the sun, symbolizing solar radiation (energy from the sun)
Weather: solar radiation
Illustration of a cloud blowing air symbolizing wind
Weather: wind 1
Illustration of a wind vector, the two- or three-dimensional vector describing the instantaneous wind magnitude and direction at a point (often using Cartesian coordinates; i.e. X and Y wind vectors). The term can also apply to the resultant wind vector which is sometimes drawn as an arrow with length proportional to wind speed.
Weather: wind vector

Illustration of a cirrocumulus cloud, a large, white patch or tuft without a gray shadow. Composed of supercooled liquid droplets (if they freeze, becomes cirrostratus - cirrocumuli are short lived) Each cloudlet appears no larger than a finger held at arms length. It occurs in patches or sheets, organized in rows like other cumulus, but since they are so small, cirrocumulus patches take on a finer appearance, sometimes referred to colloquially as
High clouds: Cirrocumulus
Illustration of cirrostratus clouds, thin, generally uniform clouds, composed of ice-crystals, capable of forming halos. When thick enough to be seen, they are whitish, usually with no distinguishing features.
High clouds: Cirrostratus
Illustration of cirrus clouds, which are characterized by thin, wisplike strands, often accompanied by tufts, leading to their common (non-standard) name of mare's tail. Cirrus clouds are formed when water vapor freezes into ice crystals at altitudes above 8000 meters (26,000 ft). Due to the sparse moisture at a high altitude, they tend to be very thin.
High clouds: Cirrus
Illustration of cumulonimbus clouds, tall, dense, and involved in thunderstorms and other intense weather. Cumulonimbus means
Low clouds: Cumulonimbus 1
Illustration of a cumulus cloud, a cloud with noticeable vertical development and clearly defined edges. Cumulus means
Low clouds: Cumulus 1
Illustration of stratocumulus clouds, belonging to a class characterized by large dark, rounded masses, usually in groups, lines, or waves. Weak convective currents create shallow cloud layers because of drier, stable air above preventing continued vertical development. Vast areas of subtropical and polar oceans are covered with massive sheets of stratocumuli.
Low clouds: Stratocumulus 1
