lebdenje na zračnim strujama Explanation: - lebdenje na/u zračnim strujama - letenje korištenjem zračnih struja "Different temperatures on the earth's surface cause the air above these surfaces to also have different temperatures. Air over land heats up more quickly than air over water. When the warm air over the land is next to the cooler air over the water, forces are set up that make the warmer air rise above the cooler air. This rising part of the air is called a thermal. A bald eagle's wings are specially adapted to take advantage of these rising thermals of air. Look carefully though, turkey vultures also like to glide on the updrafts and may look like eagles from far away" Reference: http://dnr.wi.gov/org/caer/ce/eek/earth/thermals.htm Reference: http://www.fsb.hr/zmts/kmv/images.php_files/2001_2002/Goran_... |
