around the sun. In high latitude of northern and southern hemisphere experience a seasonal shift in the length of day due to the shift in the solar energy due to the shift of the earth axis. Heating of the earth surface and atmosphere drives circulation of the atmosphere and influences pattern of precipitation. The heat near the equator region causes the evaporation. It results the air warm and moist air. This warm air tends to move toward the poles and lose its temperature and condense. The condensation

The fossil in question was generally regarded to be the 220 million-year-old remains of Tyrannosaurus Rex. Several years ago, however, this hypothesis was overturned by the discovery of yet another species {Morehouse, 1993 #21} which is now the undisputed progeny {Argus, 1991 #14;Turnhouse, 1987 #26} of the species at hand. While the true origin of this larger reptile is quite uncertain at this time, it is thought to be from central or eastern Asia. Where the other species {Schwartz, 1990 #7}
