All the examples of shadows mentioned by Douglas in the video [0]:
Traditional Shadow from Sunlight: A tree casting a shadow in bright sunlight during the summer, characterized by the typical darkening on the ground.
Snow Shadow: Occurs in winter when a tree intercepts snowflakes, resulting in an absence of snow under the tree despite being surrounded by snow. This is likened to a shadow because it mimics the visual absence typical of shadows, even though caused by a different kind of blockage.
Rain Shadow: Explained with the example of the Cascade Mountains, where the mountains block rain clouds leading to dry conditions on the leeward side, effectively creating a "shadow" where rain is absent due to the geographical barrier.
Car Shadow by a Truck: Described during highway driving, where a large truck casts a "shadow" by preventing cars behind it from passing. This "shadow" is the area in front of the truck where cars tend to stay clear due to the difficulty in passing the truck.
Shadow Cast by England Due to the Gulf Stream: This is a metaphorical shadow, where England blocks the warm Gulf Stream from reaching certain areas, resulting in colder temperatures on one side, while allowing it to pass above to northern Norway, warming it. This is referred to as the "shadow of England" on the coast of Norway, influenced by the flow of water rather than light.
These examples use the concept of "shadow" in various physical and metaphorical contexts, showing disruptions in different types of flows (light, snow, rain, traffic, and ocean currents) caused by obstructions.
