I chose to change the inclination to a 75-degree angle for the third lab assignment. If I were a bird researcher studying a population of birds and the earth began to shift to a 75-degree inclination, the biggest change would be a rise in temperature at the latitude marked with the white “X”. At the original 35-degree inclination, the average temps for early spring are mild and as the months continue into summer; the average daily temperatures do not go above what is described as mild and a half. If a gradual shift began towards a 75-degree inclination, you would begin to see a rise in the temperatures for this region. In the early spring, you might still find mild temperatures but as the spring progresses into summer, the temperatures…
1. The question provides us those following weather information of one specific place: Maximum Temperature, Minimum Temperature, Average Temperature, Dew Point, Sunrise, Sunset, and Pressure. The date has been recorded daily for six months from April 1st, 2015 to September 30th, 2015. 2.…
Some of the similarities that I saw in the data are: 1. An increase in temperatures began in January and ended in July. After July, the temperatures decreased. 2. With the data I worked with, I noticed that the median tends to be around 50 to 60 degrees.…
1.Because of the Earths daily rotation it causes the sun to appear to rise in the east and set in the west so it creates a day and night so the moon relies on the sun to set and rise during a certain time in the hemisphere 2.The seasons result from the 23.5-degree tilt of the Earth's axis combined with its revolution around the sun 3.The Moon's and Sun's gravitational pulls on Earth are responsible for this natural phenomenon creating the tides. Tides occur because the Moon's gravity decreases with distance from the Moon. 4. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon and the Earth casts a shadow on Moon.…
The seasons are created by the tilt, 23.5 degrees, of the Earth’s axis and the position of the Earth in terms of its revolution around the Sun. A hemisphere will experience summer when it is tilted towards the Sun, while the other hemisphere experiences winter. If a hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, it is receiving more sunlight and therefore it must be summer. This works the other way around as well; if a hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, it is receiving less sunlight and therefore it is winter. At the end of the day, the seasons exist because of the Earth’s tilted axis and its revolutions around the Sun.…
There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury and Searching for Summer by Joan Aiken are two stories set in a coincidentally similar setting, but they are extremely different in nearly every other way. First of all, these two short stories have very different plots. There Will Come Soft Rains is about the last “survivor” of a disaster, where the “surviving” house is finally defeated and burnt down. Searching for Summer is about a young couple, who are trying to find the last bits of sunshine to have their honeymoon in. Also, the tones of the stories are completely opposite.…
I moved to Yuba City, California approximately twelve years ago and have lived there ever since. I chose to analyze the climate trends of Yuba City because, even though I may move away soon after graduating college, it is where my parents will continue to live and I would like to have an idea of future climate changes in their city. Yuba City is a fairly small town in Sutter County with a population of 65,416 people (United States Census, 2013). It is located on the Feather River 45 miles north of Sacramento at latitude: 39.140 and longitude: -121.617 (LatLong.net, 2015). It was founded in 1849, established as a distribution center for supplying the Gold Rush 49ers (Yuba City, 2000a).…
In this region, the temperature fiercely dropped to…
In the spring weather is unpredictable and can change from a bright sunny sky to torrential rain in a matter of hours. Spring is also the time when snow can be seen at high altitudes while it’s a nice 65 degrees in the valleys (U.S.). Summer in the mountains calls for unrelenting heat and humidity. Temperatures can rise to the mid 90s in the valley but will rarely enter a temperature above 80 at the higher elevations. Fall sees a drop of temperatures across the board.…
A lot of people travel to New York and Florida personally; I travel to New York a lot because that's where I am originally from. I love traveling back and forward to New York and Florida and seeing the difference between the states. The weather, the fashion and the lifestyle are totally different when going from Florida to New York. I love the difference that we have from New York, I learn something new every time. People ask me all the time would I move back to New York and my answer will remain, no not if I don't have to…
Climate change has been a long-term global issue that requires collective global action in the form of flexible yet stable policy implementation by the global actors. As a global actor, Australia’s approach and commitments to action on climate change, has been considered as inconsistent and lacking in direction (Talberg, Hui & Loynes, 2013). Nevertheless Australia’s climate reputation has not always been a negative one, in the early 1990’s Australia’s reputation was even seen as pro-environmental when the labor government “appointed an Ambassador for the environment, sent experts to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), passed the Ozone Protection Act 1989 and committed Australia to stabilise greenhouse gas emissions at 1988…
Barbies, are what you call fashion dolls, created for younger children to play with, in the US, Japan, and many other countries. However Australian dictionaries, defines “Barbie” as a meal cooked on a barbeque. As you see, Australia uses slightly different words that most of us Japanese will not be able to understand. Plus, Australia is a unique country, so language is not the only difference it has from other culture. Furthermore the distance from Tokyo is more than 5000 kilometers, so obviously the seasons are different, together with the food they eat.…
There are a variety of ways in which different economies can be compared, including GDP comparisons, quality of life, structure of economy and government roles. Australia and Bangladesh have similar economic structures, both being mixed economies. The differences of these two nations are quite large, with great variations in Gross Domestic Products and Human Development Indices. Economic Growth Rate is a quantitative measure of an economy’s increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) over time. Bangladesh’s real GDP growth rate was 5.8% in 2013, much higher than Australia’s growth rate of 2.5% in 2013.…
Lounging in a chair drinking ice cold water, thinking of how nice winter will feel when it approaches or waiting for your car to warm up, thinking about how nice the summer sun will feel. We've all been here and thought the same way. We don't always realize it, but our way of living changes as the seasons change. What we wear and the temperature are two very noticeable changes. But there are also many different changes to go along with those two.…
Other variations like the tilt and precession of Earth also affects the natural warming and cooling process of the climate. The Earth’s angle determines the intensity of the season changes. For example, if the planet has an increasing axial tilt, the contrast increases so the summer would be warmer and winter will be colder. Precession is the wobbling of the Earth on its axis back and forth. It determines how long or short the seasons would be.…
