In terms of bringing our worlds closer together the author wrote, The ethnocentric fallacy that everyone wants our way of life just because they desire our consumer goods has led to the untenable conclusion that goods like the internet, cell phones, and satellite TV are capable of transforming fundamental values and ideas.
An atmospheric temperature inversion, also known as stable conditions, may occur due to ground surface radiation thermal loss to the night sky on clear nights. The air near the ground is then cooler and cannot rise into the warmer air above. Hence the term stable.
Inversion Layers. In a typical situation, the atmosphere (with regard to the troposphere) becomes cooler as elevation increases. An âinversionâ occurs when a section of the atmosphere becomes warmer as the elevation increases. Inversion layers are a significant factor in the formation of smog in Los Angeles because they create stable atmospheric conditions. Inversions act to prevent mixing in the lower regions of the troposphere, so pollutants become trapped quite easily and contribute to the formation of smog.
