The sun, beating down on tropical waters, powers the weather systems of the globe. Moisture evaporates from the warming ocean and rises to create great storms. The winds generated out at sea sweep inland across the continents. As they travel across the Sahara they create the biggest of all sand storms blowing sand halfway round the world to fertilise the Amazon jungle. Winds blowing across the Indian Ocean collect moisture and sweep northwards towards the Himalayas. As the air rises, so it cools. The water it carries condenses into clouds and then falls as the life giving rains of the monsoon. So air currents powered by the sun carry wet air to the middle of continents. Without water there can be no life, but its distribution over the land is far from even. Deserts cover 1/3 of the land's surface and they're growing bigger every year.
直射熱帶海域的太陽(yáng)是地球氣候系統(tǒng)的動(dòng)力。濕熱的空氣從溫暖的海洋中升起，形成巨大的風(fēng)暴。從海洋上產(chǎn)生的大風(fēng)，過(guò)海跨洲，進(jìn)入內(nèi)陸。它們吹過(guò)撒哈拉時(shí)，引發(fā)世界上的沙塵暴，這些塵土越過(guò)半個(gè)地球，給亞馬遜叢林帶來(lái)養(yǎng)份。經(jīng)過(guò)印度洋的海風(fēng)帶著濕氣向北吹去，一直吹向喜馬拉雅山，空氣在上升的過(guò)程中溫度會(huì)下降。它攜帶的水份凝結(jié)成云，然后變成給大地帶來(lái)生機(jī)的季風(fēng)雨。這樣，由太陽(yáng)提供動(dòng)力的氣流把濕潤(rùn)的空氣帶到了各個(gè)大陸的中央地帶。沒(méi)有水就沒(méi)有生命，但水在陸地上的分布卻極不均衡。沙漠占陸地面積的1/3，而且這一面積每年還在擴(kuò)大。
