Development of a tropical storm - map (Large Print)
This diagram shows the development of a tropical storm, in map view (seen from above). There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The image is surrounded by an image border. Most of the border is filled with a texture representing the sea. To the left of the page are descriptive labels and to the right a textured object shaped roughly like a ring doughnut. At the bottom left of the page, just above a label, are two arrows pointing to the left, indicating the direction of travel of the storm system. The right hand portion of the page shows the ring-shaped storm system with the clear 'eye' at its centre. It is surrounded by arrows showing the anti-clockwise (in the northern hemisphere) rotational direction of the system.
Climate map of Europe, north and central Africa (UEB Uncontracted)
by Rnib BookshareThis is a multi-page image of climate maps of Europe, north and central Africa, set on three pages. There are locator dots shown, which will be at the top left of each page when the images are the right way up.Key for climate map of Europe, north and central Africa: This page shows the key for the climate maps of Europe, north and central Africa. The rectangular areas of texture (or colour) representing the various climate regions found on the two map pages, are shown on the left of the page with descriptive text to the right. They are grouped so that areas of similar climate type appear near each other; so 'Tropical monsoon' follows 'Tropical equatorial'. Climate map - Europ: This is a map of Europe bounded by a dashed line image border. The map shows a part of Greenland in the top left hand corner. The right hand part of the page shows Western Europe and Russia. Blank areas within the image border show oceans. Climate map - north and central Africa : This is a map of north and central Africa bounded by a dashed line image border. The map shows a small portion of south America in the bottom left hand corner. In the middle of the page is central Africa. In the top right of the map is Israel and part of the Middle East. Blank areas within the image border show oceans.

High and low pressure belts (UEB Uncontracted)
The image on this page is of the Earth and shows belts of high and low pressure and prevailing winds. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. There are labels to the left of the page. In the centre there is a disc with horizontal bands of texture representing the planet Earth with high and low air pressure areas. On the disc, there are curved lines with arrowheads showing the directions of prevailing winds. There is also a heavy dashed horizontal straight line showing the Equator with horizontal dashed lines up and down the page from this showing the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. To the right of this are curved lines with arrowheads showing rising and descending air.

Factors affecting climate (UEB Uncontracted)
There are two diagrams of the Earth on this page; one is at the top of the page and the other at the bottom. Each has a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. Winter: In the top diagram, to the left of the page, there is a textured disc representing the Earth, with a ring of another texture showing the atmosphere surrounding it. On the top right part of the Earth there are two heavy lines showing the area of the Earth's surface heated by the sun's rays, which are represented by two textured bars extending to the right. This shows how, in northerly areas in winter, the sun's rays are spread out more and have to travel further through the atmosphere. These factors, together with shorter winter days and increased reflection of the sun's energy back into space, all have the effect of reducing the amount of energy available for heating the surface of the Earth. A heavy dashed line showing the Equator goes across at an angle halfway up the disc. The Earth's axis is shown at its top and bottom by short heavy lines. To the right of these are four descriptive labels. Summre: In the diagram at the bottom of the page there are descriptive labels to the left. To the right of the page, there is a textured disc representing the Earth, with a ring of another texture showing the atmosphere surrounding it. On the top left part of the Earth there are two heavy lines showing the area of the Earth's surface heated by the sun's rays, which are represented by two textured bars extending to the left. This shows how, in northerly areas in summer, the sun's rays are spread out less and have to travel a shorter distance through the atmosphere. These factors, together with longer summer days and decreased reflection of the sun's energy back into space, all have the effect of increasing the amount of energy available for heating the surface of the Earth. A heavy dashed line showing the Equator goes across at an angle halfway up the disc. The Earth's axis is shown at its top and bottom by short heavy lines.

Structure of a long bone (UEB Uncontracted)
This page has two images of a long bone (human thigh bone) with the hip end at the top of the page, and the knee end at the bottom of the page. A locator dot and title are shown. These must always be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The image on the left is a cross section, and the image on the right is the external appearance. The image on the left shows the internal structure and contents of the bone. It is like a tube with hard, strong bone forming the wall of the tube. Each end is filled with a lighter bone which is not quite as strong. The middle is filled with the soft marrow. Both images show the cartilage at the ends which make the joint smooth.

This is an image of oxygen release to body cells. It is a multi-page image set on two pages, a key and then the diagram page. A locator dot and title are shown on both pages. These must always be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. Key to oxygen release to body cells. This page shows the symbols and textures used on the diagram page. A sample of the texture is on the left with its description on the right. Oxygen release to body cells. This diagram shows the principle of the movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide in body cells in relation to a capillary. The diagram is surrounded by an image border. A capillary goes from the bottom left of the diagram up to the top right side. There are circular red blood cells in the capillary. As they move along the capillary from left to right, oxygen from the red blood cell diffuses into the body cells, and then carbon dioxide diffuses from the body cells into the red blood cell.
