Humid subtropical climate

he time has come where most Americans will start to clean up around the house and maybe dust off some albums that have been laying around. There will be rainy days, beautiful sunshine, and blossoming flowers that will make everybody just want to get outside. You should get the mentality, at least on the East Coast, that the weather will not be below 30 anymore or the evident snow falls which made people just want to stay indoors. There are some bands that just know how to make music that fits…

During ten thousand B.C. at the Northern Hemisphere, an abrupt global climate change that led to glacial like weather occured. This period is known as Younger Dryas Climate Event. Due to the earth warming, the ice age starting melting. This huge amount of freshwater started flowing into the gulf through the Mississippi River and also to north Atlantic from the east coast. This unusual flow of freshwater into the saltwater caused the water currents to change suddenly causing different weather…

Change is a normal part of life, everything from the biggest whale to the smallest bacteria goes through change. Scientists have to update information every time change occurs. This makes adjustments very common in modern life. Information changes in a short time and greatly affects society, but how? These three articles, The Half-Life of Facts, The Food Pyramid and Why It Changed, and The Explosion in What We Know About Life Forms, are the prime explanations about these advancements.…

February seasonal temperatures in Napa Valley can be remarkably cool and wet, especially in the Spring Mountain District, high above the town of St. Helena. The mountainside vineyard elevations are anywhere from 400 to 2100 feet and rainfall is usually abundant during the winter season, although much of California has experienced drought conditions the past three years. However, the northern part of the state, especially those areas north of the Golden Gate, have received a respectable amount of…

Every year the summers seem to get a little hotter, and the winters seem to get a little colder. The main cause of this is the simple fact that global warming is slowly destroying our ozone layer more and more each year. Pollution is a very serious issue and a lot of people are not aware of the serious effects that global warming has on our world. There are many things that humans do every day, without even realizing it, that affect our atmosphere in negative ways. Greenhouse gases and…

He remembers the cottage being drafty and cold during the winters and it had no bathroom. At school, he was the only child in the first grade. His family moved…

Arctic amplification is expected to cause arctic warming through the year 2100. This warming corresponds to a trend of decreasing in sea ice area and extent through the end of the century. Despite this anticipated trend, inter-annual variability in arctic sea ice extent remains relatively unpredictable. The variables affecting sea ice growth include, but are not limited to, large-scale atmospheric circulation, local meteorology, and dynamical surface fluxes, thus the forcing on arctic sea ice is…

In Ecuador, the climate affects a great deal of the culture. The temperature ranges from 50 degrees Fahrenheit to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The precipitation they receive depends on the season. April is the wettest month, while July is the driest. The people in Ecuador dress in clothing that is appropriate for hot weather. The majority of the clothing that they wear is white or made of very bright colors. They tend to avoid dark colors to ensure the coolest temperature possible. On Ecuadorian…

1. Describe what changes between January, April, July, and October. In January, a continuous, circular jet stream goes from Africa to the west coast of North America until it splits up into two S shaped streams (one over Africa and one over the ocean between Asia and North America). A distinct ridge and trough develops over North America. Depending on the day of the month, there is a trough, continuous jet stream, or broken up jet stream over the ocean between North America and Africa. In April…

A hidden gem in West Seattle, Alki Beach is constantly bustling with families, college students, and everyone in between. The neighborhood stretches from Me-Kwa-Mooks Park in the southwest to the end of Seacrest Park along Harbor Avenue in the northeast, and runs along the beach. It is a geographically interesting area because the neighborhood is elongated and skinny instead of filling in a compact area. Many mainland Seattlites have distinct views of West Seattle’s demographics. While some…
