It has many geologic features such as mountains, oceans, forests, caves, farms and plantations that produce popular crops such as tobacco, sugar canes and coffee. Many of these features have been approaching the beauty of the island and making it more unique than other places. These astonishing features help Puerto…

Climate of Brazoria County There are three major geographical components that effect the weather throughout the states of Texas; The Gulf of Mexico, the Mexican High Plains, and the Rocky Mountains. All three play a major role in the weather and climate throughout the state in different ways. All of these influences effect the warm, wet climate of the coastal region as well as the dry, dusty areas in the west. Weather and climate observations over the last 30 years have shown a general warming…

Introduction: I. (Attention-getter): How do you explain that 30 years ago we had a different weather than today? When you look at yourself in a dirty mirror; can you see your image very well? The same occurs when the sunrays reflect on the sea and that reflection can’t be release into space because gasses in the atmosphere block their exit to out of space causing the planet to get warmer. II. Climate change is how weather has changed…

climate change because warmer temperatures will be able to fuel more powerful and devastating hurricanes. Some individuals believe that climate change is not significant and will have little impact; however, its impact can already be observed. Severe weather is more common and temperatures are steadily increasing which serves to show that climate change is not something that can be overlooked. Even though some may view the climate as being stable and immune to change, many scientists already…

by global warming due to the location of Canada’s northern regions. The arctic is a very fragile ecosystem due its extreme weather conditions enabling fewer species to thrive and an overall less diverse population. This less diverse population results in a simpler food chain. Subsequently, if one species is wiped out due to glaciers melting, thawing permafrost, or extreme weather changes all caused by global warming then it is more difficult for the animals living there to adapt and…

can experience milder climates and more vegetation as climate change melts the ice. List of Cons of the Global Warming Worst Case Scenario 1. It damages the environment. As mentioned in the introduction, natural disasters are becoming more extreme and frequent due to global warming. The oceans are more acidic, more forests are damaged due to drought, acid rain, and forest fires, water formations are drying up, and river banks and seashores are vanishing. 2. It destroys habitats.…

influence more than just local citizens and can be used to achieve practically anything. For example, Baton Rouge’s 2016 flood was caused by 29 inches of rain from an unnamed and unreported storm. The governor declared a state of emergency days after the extreme flooding began, which allowed a constant stream of London’s Olympic Games. Due to the lack of political support to share the news of the flood, the city, “U.S. policy makers were less likely to declare disasters during the Olympics.…

predicted winter of 2015/16 in association with El- Niño and compare with the scientific knowledge of this topic. The media is the leading source of communication globally, with the British public dedicating 6 weeks of their lives talking about the weather (Daily Mirror cited in Gavin et al, 2011, p.423). The media’s tendency to simplify and overexpose information has often resulted in repudiated claims because of misrepresentation. However, it could be argued that simplifying information in…

Climate change is a rising issue of importance in our society, and one that is threatening to our community in many ways. The weather has been changed in this world for centuries. Climate change in the world today can be caused by plenty of reasons. Many changes can occur when the temperature rises. When there are some changes in the weather, temperatures can increase like crazy. For example, it causes floods, intense of rain, droughts, and can even have severe heat waves. It is now more certain…

GEOG 306 Literature Review Introduction Severe weather prediction is an evolving concept that regions adopt through the need for improved documentation and increased understanding of destructive weather-related forces. Extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall, storms or flash floods can considerably damage roads, railways and power lines. Regions focused on reducing impacts from extreme weather are appointing emergency management teams with the primary responsibility to proactively…
