Seasons are like our body temperatures ? Is this right ?

When body temperature increases sweating happen, like that

1.in summer earth surface become hot & to cool it rain storms happen ?

2. When earth quake happens, lots of energy released in this, then again rain falls sooner.?

3. Because of global warming more storms are produced ?

  1. I'm not sure where you're getting those ideas, but they're way off base.

    Thermoregulation (maintaining a constant body temperature) is a function of warm-blooded animals. We sweat to cool off, and shiver to warm up, our blood vessels expand and contract to move blood nearer or further away from the skin, and so on. But comparing sweating and shivering to rain and earthquakes is wrong - the Earth doesn't "try" to maintain a constant temperature, as it's not a hot-blooded organism. It's purely at the whim of its environment, its atmosphere, the heat of the sun and so on. Indeed, we know that throughout the Earth's history the global temperature has varied wildly, getting much hotter or colder that it is today - this would not happen if they Earth was capable of thermoregulation.

    The seasons are a result of the Earth's tilted axis. When it's summer in the Northern hemisphere, the Earth is tilted more towards the sun so the rays are more intense, while in the Southern hemisphere the Earth is tilted more away, so it's winter there.

    Rain is simply a cycle of evaporation and precipitation of water, not a method of cooling the Earth. Heat is lost mostly through radiation from the ground, the seas and the atmosphere.

    Earthquakes do not cause more rain. It's true that a quake releases energy as vibrations which ultimately end up as heat, but this is spread over such a huge area that it's insignificant compared to the usual heating effect of the sun and the Earth's molten interior, so there's not going to be a measurable increase in evaporation.

    It's true that global warming could produce more storms, but this is because a change in global temperature can disrupt weather patterns in significant ways. A higher global temperature would speed up evaporation of water, but increasing cloud cover reduces the amount of energy making it to ground level. The effects of global warming are difficult to model because there are so many variables and so many factors involved, which is why there is disagreement about exactly what effects a change in global temperature would have.


  2. I think so...

  3. maybe?

  4. #1...yes.

    #2, no

    #3, no.

    when we sweat, liquid seeps out of our skin, cooling us off. the earth does not do this with seasons. water evaporates here and makes storms but it still remains 90 degrees. having a big storm or hurricane even, wont push that region into winter temporarily.

    earthquakes release energy, yes. not heat though. energy doesnt rise into the atmosphere creating rain in an earthquake.

    more storms may be produced from global warming, yes. global warming isnt taking place right now though. the oceans are still on a cooling trend and for global warming to take place, the oceans MUST be warming as well. this is so because the oceans are the air conditioning system of the earth.
