According to an Azores High hypothesis of geographer Kam biu Liu, an anti phase pattern is expected to exist between the Gulf of Mexico coast and the Atlantic Seaboard North American Atlantic coast . During the quiescent periods 3000 1400 BC, and 1000 AD to present , a more northeasterly position of the Azores High would result in more hurricanes being steered towards the Atlantic coast. During the hyperactive period 1400 BC to 1000 AD , more hurricanes were steered towards the Gulf coast as the Azores High was shifted to a more southwesterly position near the Caribbean. ref name Liu1999 cite conference first Kam biu last Liu authorlink coauthors title Millennial scale variability in catastrophic hurricane landfalls along the Gulf of Mexico coast conference 23d Conf. on Hurricanes and Tropical Meteorology publisher Amer.

A webbed belt , military belt or skater belt is a type of belt clothing belt distinguished by its belt buckle design and lack of holes in the cord, which is usually found in other belts where a pin is used as the fastening mechanism in the belt buckle. The design of the belt buckle is usually a hollow metal rectangular box through which the cloth cord passes through, when fastened, a pin with the length equal to the width of the cord is pushed up from a groove and stops the cloth by increasing the amount of friction needed to pull the cloth cord further through the box. This mechanism removes the need for holes in the cord, which is a common feature on many other designs, it also allows the wearer to adjust the belt to the exact size needed, as it is not limited by the holes. A belt of this type is often used in the uniforms of armed forces as well as that of the Boy Scouts of America , since it is adjustable, cheap to produce and does not deteriorate easily. fashion stub Category Belts ... more details

A serpentine belt , also known as a multi vee, poly v, or multi rib belt, is a single, continuous belt mechanical belt used to drive multiple peripheral devices in an automotive engine , such as an alternator , power steering pump, water pump , air conditioning gas compressor compressor , air pump , etc. The belt may also be guided by an idler pulley and or a belt tensioner which may be spring loaded, hydraulic, or manual . The production serpentine belt was manufactured by Hutchinson and first used by Mercedes Benz on the 1985 190 Series. Variations On some engine designs, the back smooth side of the belt may drive some accessories. This is typically limited to components requiring less torque or where a large angle of lap is present. Such accessories will counter rotate vs. the normal pulleys. Some vehicles use two serpentine belts for their system, such as the manual transaxle equipped Ford Taurus SHO , 1995&ndash 1999 DOHC Nissan Maxima , vehicles using the supercharged Buick V6 engine GM 3800 engine, and many BMW s. Advantages It is more efficient than the older multiple belt system and may consume less space in the engine compartment. By using a single, wider belt instead of multiple, thinner belts, the belt may be put under increased tension without stretching. Higher tension reduces slip, which increases belt life and mechanical efficiency . Reduced slip can allow the use of lower ... for V belts to flip over in the pulley groove at high RPM is eliminated.
