Humid subtropical climate

I am a junior at Bowdoin College majoring in Earth and Oceanographic Science (EOS). In the 2018 spring semester I will be studying abroad with SEA Semester and completing a semester-long research project about carbon cycling in the sub-Antarctic Ocean. Although my major, earth and oceanographic science, has exposed me to plate tectonics, sedimentary systems, and biogeochemical cycling, I have focused my major mostly on ocean systems. Within oceanography I am most interested in marine nutrient…

Keeping your Long Island home bright and cheerful even in when it's blustery outside. Most of us on Long Island haven't given much thought to cold weather lurking around the corner – beyond scheduling the annual heating system check-up and pulling the heavy drapes out of the linen chest. We're still enjoying the cooler nights and milder daytime temperatures after a hot, sultry summer. But, cold weather will arrive sooner than you think. The good news is that even cold, dreary weather outside…

There are several factors that go into making an ice storm and a sleet or snow storm. Temperature has a lot to do with this if not everything to do with what happens if we are to get precipitation. When the meteorologist calls for an ice storm there is a lot that goes into knowing how and why it will be ice instead of snow. First and for most the earth’s surface temperature has to reach the freezing point of 32 F. This lets us know that anything type of precipitation will freeze once it hits the…

be very blank and quiet predictable. We have four seasons in a year, spring, summer, autumn and winter. The most commonly acknowledged seasons would be summer and winter, probably being people’s favorites too. Summer and winter have very different climates, one reaching extremely hot temperatures while the other reaches extremely cold temperatures. Both seasons have their own benefits or disadvantage when it comes to how people can spend their time during the given period. Winter is usually…

Every single year many penguins are affected by oil spills. Oil spills affect more than 82,000birds, 6,000 sea turtles, 25,900 marine mammals and more. Around 2012 to 2013 there were more than 97,135 oil spills. “The Amazing Penguin Rescue” and “The Seabird Chronicle” have many similarities and differences like time and conflict. One similarity between “The Amazing Penguin Rescue” and “The Seabird Chronicle” is conflict. “The Amazing Penguin Rescues” conflict is character vs. society. In this…

How Does Weather / Climate Affect a Dog? All different kinds of weather can affect a dog's behavior and mood. However, like people, dogs can have their own unique quirks when it comes to reacting to weather. Some dogs are particularly scared of thunder, while others ignore it. Some dogs don't mind the dark winter months while others can appear depressed and sad.The same is true of other types of weather ,it just depends on the dog and how sensitive the dog is.Many dogs, including mine are…

into a modern day hoax. Socialists, environmentalists, and activists have used the theory of man-made global warming to rationalize alternative energy production and consumption—streamlining our nation towards a so-called ‘greener’ future. However, climate alarmists consistently ignore actual temperature data because it negates their claims that mankind is destroying the Earth. Instead, theorists continue to back their false claims in an effort to support their goals: increasing…

change of climate, they had to change their living strategies to adapt to the environment, including the transformation from being nomads to cultivating primitive crops. Because of this, agriculture occurred and was established as a mode of human society and economy, which means that there must be a close relationship between it and the climate change. We can analyze this inference through the process of agricultural development of in several different regions. First of all, the climate change…

concern for the environment. Due to the activities of humans that are affecting climate change there is an imposing threat to human health. As Madeline Thomson wrote the effects of climate change and overall effect on human health are becoming easier to understand (Thomson 6). The problem with climate change, however, is that it affects many parts of the ecosystem, which in turn affects the human health. Climate change is expected to affect majority of things humans need: clean air, safe…

In the past few centuries Earth’s climate has change dramatically with the increase of greenhouse gasses, and changes in global temperature. Global climate change has become a world wide spread issue. The international panel for climate change says global climate change is the result of the anthropogenic increases of carbon dioxide, and other greenhouse gases. “Soil biological processes have major long-term effects on composition of Earth’s atmosphere, which in turn influences all living things,…
