If a city was close to the water the temperatures will be on the cooler side, however if the city was located in an inland state their temperature would be on the higher end. 2. How far north and south a city is. This would affect the temperatures because the city closer to the equator would have the higher temperatures.…
The savanna’s temperature has a range that is 68-86. As usual, the higher temperatures are in the summer and the colder temperatures occur when it is winter. Also, in the savanna annual rainfall each year is 10-30 inches. As stated before, rainfall in the savanna comes in the summer and never in the winter. This is one of the many qualities of the wet and dry climate of the savannah…

Even if slaves are no longer whipped they cannot progress their status socially. The irony of the American dream of freedom excludes all African Americans that are slaves. Maria Stewart backs up her argument on the emotional effect on slaves by using, similes, motifs, and irony.…
According to the Cloud Fraction map, I think that Africa has an arid climate in the north and south. In between is more humid as the year goes on. If you reduced cloud fraction levels to less than 25% then I would expect for there to be less vegetation and the climate to be arid in the places that seen to be humid, based off of the Cloud Fraction map. I think the precipitation levels to be low if the cloud fraction is low. To help support my claim, I looked at the maps and where there is low cloud fraction levels there is also low precipitation levels.…
7- Chapter 8: Apples or Indians There are three types of agricultural areas that lie at opposite extremes and are centers of independent domestication, each having an impact on food cultivation. The first region is part of Southwest Asia known as the Fertile Crescent. It appears to have been the earliest site for many developments such as cities, writing, empires, and civilization. Aside from this, the Fertile Crescent was also the earliest center of food production in the world. This included many of the modern world’s major crops and domesticated animals.…
(Document 1) Aridity means dry and steppe means a huge of land. Another example that the desert is very dry is that, “ The Sahara is seen as a wilderness of sand dunes.” (Document 1) I know it sounds like the Sahara is full of sand but it has other formations as well, “Yet it is a region with great massifs, extraordinary rock formations, lofty volcanic peaks, gravelly plains, shifty dunes and subterranean water.…
Geographic factors such as latitude determine every location’s climate. Climate controls where, when, and what a civilization can grow which then dictates their level of development. Where sufficient and nutritious crops can be grown efficiently, will have more time to advance and specialize in other activities. The Fertile Crescent is further North of the equator, which results in the semi-arid climate that supports the growth and production of the Fertile Crescents people’s main food source, wheat. Wheat has several advantages such as being easy to grow and harvest, high in calories and nutrients, and can be stored up to 5 years allowing the people of the Fertile Crescent to have a food surplus each year.…
The five of the eleven agricultural regions are: paddy rice farming, truck farming, livestock fattening, grain farming, and suitcase farm. These are the five of the eleven agricultural regions, and the agricultural activities occur in these five regions. Truck farming occurs in wealthy nations such as Australia, the U.S., and Western Europe. The primary goal is to provide the urban areas with fresh fruits and vegetables, which they specialize with one crop or food item: grapes, wine, raisins, olives, oranges, apples, lettuce, potatoes. Farmers raise and sale fruits and vegetables on the farm.…
Desertification in Lake Chad Desertification is occurring globally especially in the sub-Saharan desert. One of the biggest examples if what is happening is the disappearance of Lake Chad. Lake Chad is located on the border of 4 Sub-Saharan countries: Chad, Niger, Nigeria and Cameroon. It was one of the biggest bodies of water in all of Africa. Its disappearance will greatly impact the countries surrounding it as they depended very much on what the lake provided from water to fish.…
With 500 millimeters of rainfall received in most areas annually, the country can be considered dry for many spells of the year. Due to such climatic and weather conditions, many Somalis practice nomadic pastoralism. Somalia, at the extreme of climate change issues, will have incredible trouble adjusting to the results of climate change when they show up. This can be facilitated by the fact that Somalia does not have the establishments and government structure expected to protect its population against expanded food insecurity. Unstable circumstances have harmed agricultural productivity.…
Egypt is being researched and we are going to learn all about Egypt’s history, geography, peoples culture, and their economy. I was very interested in this country because of the way people dress, act, and live their lives. I thought it would be a good way for people to learn more about this country.

Loneliness is something everyone fears and, whether they like it or not, everyone feels lonesome at least once in his/her lifetime. Deep in the heart the readers are still desperately lonely and, probably, nothing can be done. It is exactly what Robert Frost wanted to say in his famous poem “Desert Places”. Robert Frost’s “Desert Places” shows the interrelationship of individuality and the need to avoid conformity in society today.…
