Heating of the earth near the equator leads to large amounts of convection along the monsoon trough or Intertropical convergence zone.
As it moves towards the mid-latitudes on both sides of the equator, the air cools and sinks.
The resulting air mass subsidence creates a subtropical ridge of high pressure near the 30th parallel in both hemispheres.
At the surface level, the sinking air diverges again with some returning to the equator, completing the Hadley circulation.
This air mass rises to the lower stratosphere where it diverges, moving away from the equator in the upper troposphere in both northerly and southerly directions.

Cloverleaf interchanges, viewed from overhead or on maps, resemble the leaves of a four-leaf clover or less often a 3-leaf clover.
They were originally created for busier interchanges that the original diamond interchange system could not handle.
This not only made them a viable option for interchanges between freeways but they could also be used for very busy arterials where signals could present congestion problems.

Powerpoint presentations, multiple projectors and screens, clickers for recording student responses, even ‘back-chat’ channels on Twitter, enabling students to comment on a lecture – or more often, the lecturer – in real time, have all been tried.
The essence of a lecture remains the transmission of information, all of which is now readily and, in most cases, freely available in other media and in more learner-friendly formats.
Nevertheless, all this is just lipstick on a pig.
Students have been asked to bring tablets or lap-tops to class, and universities in particular have invested millions of dollars in state of the art lecture theatres.

However, many commentators assert that the term is still valid as a mean of describing a generally more democratized marketplace, even when it's applied to a broader spectrum of services.
Originally growing out of the open-source community to refer to peer-to-peer based sharing of access to goods and services, the term is now sometimes used in a broader sense to describe any sales transactions that are done via online market places.
These include even ones that are business to business, rather than peer-to-peer.
For this reason, the term sharing economy has been criticized as misleading, some arguing that even services that enable peer-to-peer exchange can be primarily profit-driven.
Sharing economy is an umbrella term with a range of meanings, often used to describe economic activity involving online transactions.

Some elements, such as carbon or silicon, may be considered ceramics.
A ceramic material is an inorganic, non-metallic, often crystalline oxide, nitride or carbide material.

During the world wars, many ship and aircraft disasters happened in the open ocean, and because of its former abundance, the oceanic whitetip was often the first species on site when such a disaster happened.
The oceanic whitetip lives in the open sea and rarely shows up near coasts, where most recorded incidents occur.
However, there have been a number of attacks involving this species, particularly during World War I and World War II.
Modern-day statistics show the oceanic whitetip shark as seldom being involved in unprovoked attacks.
