| ARTICLES RELATED TO mountainous | | | | |  mountainous: Encyclopedia II - Climate of the United Kingdom - Climate changeSome evidence exists that suggests that the climate of the United Kingdom is undergoing a process of warming as a result of global climate change.
Current research has concluded that the north of the UK is warming faster than the south and this process is expected to continue in the future unless global emissions of greenhouse gases, the prime culprit for global warming, are reduced. Average annual temperatures are expected to rise by about 2 and 3.5 °C by the 2080s and the autumn and winter will see the greatest warming, with summer rises of temperat ...

| | | | | mountainous: Encyclopedia II - Climate of the United Kingdom - Climate history The climate of the United Kingdom has not always been the way it is today, and in some periods it was much warmer, and in others it was much colder. One of the greatest climatic events the UK has experienced was the Ice Age. This was a period of extreme cold weather that lasted for tens of thousands of years and ended about 10,000 years ago. During this period the temperature was so extremely low that the much of the surrounding ocean froze and a great ...

In the winter of 1982 for example, for a few days parts of central and southern England experienced temperatures lower than central Europe and Moscow. In contrast, the summers of 1975 and 1976 experienced temperatures as high as 34 to 35 °C. It was so dry the country suffered drought and water shortages.

The western side of the United Kingdom is, being closest to the Atlantic, generally the mildest, wettest and windiest region of the UK. As its temperatures are most under the moderating effect of the Atlantic, temperature variations here are seldom extreme.
Eastern areas are by contrast drier, cooler, less windy and also experience the greatest daily and seasonal temperature variations.
The various regions of the UK are under the ...

There has been a problem of population decline due to elevated levels of emigration after the break-up of the USSR. The rates of emigration and population decline, however, have been decreasing in the recent years, a trend which is expected to continue. In fact Armenia is expected to resume its positive population growth by 2010.
Ethnic Armenians make up 97.9% of the population. Most Azerbaijanis, once a siza ...

Agriculture contributed only 20% of net material product and 10% of employment before the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. Armenian mines produce copper, zinc, gold, and lead. The vast majority of energy is produced with fuel imported from Russia, including gas and nuclear fuel (for its one nuclear power plant); the main domestic energy ...

Southern coasts, however, often have the clearest skies because cumulus cloud formation generally takes place over land, so coastal areas are often cloud free. These south coast counties of Dorset, Hampshire and Sussex have annual average totals of between 1,750 and 2000 hours of sunshine a year. Western and mountainous areas are generally the cloudiest areas of the UK, with some m ...

| | | | | mountainous: Encyclopedia II - Climate of the United Kingdom - The Atlantic Ocean One of the most important influences on the British climate is the Atlantic Ocean and especially the North Atlantic current which brings warm waters from the Gulf of Mexico to the United Kingdom by means of the global conveyor.
This has a powerful moderating and warming effect on the UK climate. The North Atlantic Drift warms the climate of the UK to such a great extent that temperatures in winter would be about 10 °C lower than they are today if it didn't exist and ...

| | | | | mountainous: Encyclopedia II - Climate of the United Kingdom - Temperature Generally the UK has mild to cool winters and warm to hot summers with little variation in temperature throughout the year. In England the average annual temperature varies from 8.5 °C in the north to 12 °C in the south, but over the higher ground this can be several degrees lower. This small variation in temperature is to a large extent due to the moderating effect the Atlantic ocean has since water has a much greater heat capacity than air and tends to release it slowly throughout the year. This has a warming influence ...

The prevailing wind in the United Kingdom is from the south west but in such a changeable climate it may blow from any direction for sustained periods of time. Winds are strongest near westerly facing coasts and inland areas where there is little topography, such as mountains, to divert the wind.

| | | | | mountainous: Encyclopedia II - Defender game - Ports Defender has been ported to most video game consoles of the early 1980s. More recently Defender was included in Midway Arcade Treasures, a compilation available for the Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2 and Xbox consoles. There is a related 3D shooting game for the same consoles which uses similar sounds but is otherwise not the same game.
Most ports at the time lacked the multiple buttons needed to truly run the game, and so the "reverse" button is often left off and reversals of the joystick direction serve to turn the ship around. This can radically alter the gameplay and make certain stra ...
