Moreover, the land masses are characterized by high mountains, and the seas are among the warmest on the earth. This produces a widespread area of diurnal thunderstorms which pump huge quantities of
Anywhere on Earth Anywhere on Earth Anywhere on Earth (AoE) is a calendar designation which indicates that a period expires when the date passes everywhere on Earth.
