Welcome to the Science Mondays segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Science Mondays will feature stuff from the world of science and science related content. Our goal here at Geek Alabama is to hopefully have you learn something useful and fulfilling. Science is a geek’s best friend, and we love featuring science content here at Geek Alabama.
Why is Death Valley the hottest place on Earth? It isn’t just because it’s a desert. I traveled to Death Valley to explain the unique combination of geography and meteorology that creates the hottest temperatures ever recorded on Earth.
The surprising part is that many of the same physical processes driving the heat here are also responsible for major heat waves across the United States. If you’ve ever wondered why it gets so hot where you live, this is the place to understand it.
