Deserts as Ecosystems and Why They Need Protecting

Environmental Science

There may also be an extreme variation between warm and cool seasons, including extreme winds and storms due to the mixing of cold and warm air. Surface albedo is high - heat acquired during the day is radiated at night. Finally, deserts, due to their location, are important sources of generating renewable energy.

Physics: The Science of the Universe and Everything In It

Environmental Science

Renewable energy : The contribution of physics to the environmental sciences is no better demonstrated than in the development of renewable energy. It also concerns heat and energy transfer, entropy (the waste heat leading to a loss of energy from a closed system), the Carnot Cycle and the law of cooling.
