Climate Differences Between San Francisco And New York City

Improved Essays
There are a few differences between San Francisco and New York City. One being, the San Francisco climate doesn’t fluctuate as much as the climate in NYC. NYC has hot, hot summers and cold winters (snow storms). But, the weather in SF doesn’t change much (no snow). San Francisco weather is the same because, it is similar to the temperature of the pacific ocean, which is known as an oceanic climate. Air masses move across the continent (towards NYC) off the ocean and change due to the amount of water and average temperature that is inside the continent. As the air mass changes, that is where the changes in weather and climate come into play. The change in air mass is referred to as continental climates. As the air moves across the U.S., it picks up the weather in whatever state/place it moves over. If it's cold in one state, the cool air keeps moving towards NYC.
Disease played a huge part in the conquering of the Aztec empire. When Cortes returned to the city, 70% of the population had already died from diseases. Smallpox and other diseases were spreading rapidly and they had no idea how to treat it. The Spanish were outnumbered in war, but with the weapons they had and the diseases they brought with them, it helped them defeat.
The Aztecs Total war is a type of war that is unrestricted in terms of weapons used or territory used. The purpose of Flower wars was for the Aztecs to show

Warm ocean water isn’t good to support fish or plants, they need cooler ocean water. In darker water, like around Cape Cod and Maine, there is more nutrients to support fish life and it is cooler water. Because of this, there is an abundance of food for the fish, so they just constantly eat and eat. The fish North Atlantic are much fatter, contain more muscle, protein/nutrients, and are much larger in number all because of the colder water that we have here in the North

    Although the Age of Exploration brought new trading routes and sovereignty, those changes were only temporary and ended negatively. Through the age of exploration the Columbian Exchange was discovered, and through the columbian exchange food, ideas, and technology were traded but diseases were also spread. As Document 3 shows, diseases such as smallpox, Influenza, whooping cough, and Measles were spread along within the trade route. This might have benefitted Europe because it gave Europeans an advantage against the Native people since they were much more immune to those diseases. On the other hand, as Document 7 shows the diseases had a negative impact on the Native people, and it played a role in the decreased populations of the Native people..…

    The demised and death of the natives were caused by the greed of the conquistadores and the ignorance of the natives. The abuse and slavery had a hand on their death but also the Conquistadores moved throughout the continent introducing European diseases such as smallpox, influenza, measles and typhus in to the Americas. The majority of the natives had no immunity against such diseases as a result; they died by the hundreds of thousands not able to resist the invasion. In time, European disease would truly devastate the natives of central Mexico. When Cortés launched his counterattack, the Aztec population had been greatly reduced by smallpox and measles.…

    After finally getting out of the old world, the European explorers land upon a “New World” meeting the new, native peoples forming a relationship between them. This relationship was not quite ideal for each group; European exploration and colonization into the “New World” had a strong negative impact on the native people. The impact of exploration and colonization on the native peoples was enslavement, disease, and the forced changing of the natives religious views. Upon entering into the “New World” and meeting the native peoples, European explorers felt these natives were inferior to them and began to enslave them. The native people were forced to change their own land and “they planted their lands with all the trees and fruits” according…

    While the primary motivation for war in other past civilizations was greed or political rivalries, sometimes under the guise of religious or just causes, sometimes not, the Aztecs were driven by what they perceived to be a necessity to maintain the balance of the world. They cite their religious beliefs back to the “Four Hundred Cloud serpents” who had lost their way in worshipping the sun, and as a result faced their demise at the end of the godly war. These people believed that waging war was what the gods wanted, and it is noted multiple times that they yearned for these practices to end. The main purpose of any war was to gain prisoners for sacrifice, which again, whilst now clearly abhorrent, was solely for religious purposes. “To keep the sun moving in its course, so that the darkness should not overwhelm the world forever, it was necessary to feed it every day with its food, ‘the precious water’—that is, with human blood” (Soustelle 96-97).…
