Humid subtropical climate

often confused with climate change and although these terms sound alike…

reviewed journals produced by scientists. It was hypothesized that the increase in transmission is because of tourists traveling to sporting events in South America. Information was collected and observed and the findings supported the fact that climate change was to blame for the increase in infections and transmission of the Zika virus around the world. It is important that scientists take this virus serious and try to take action against it. There is always going to be a problem with…

The Rangifer Tarandus, better known as caribou or reindeer, is an herbivorous species living in the tundra. Tundras have a vastly cold climate, with limited vegetation. Caribou are similar to deer; however they are much bigger with a shoulder standing height of 2.8-4.9 feet, and females weigh 175 to 225 pounds, while males weigh about 350 to 400 pounds (Caribou). Reindeer were first found in Norway and were only known as Reindeer, once people started realizing how beneficial the Reindeer were…

Scenario planning is the process of evaluating possible future events through the consideration of alternative plausible, though not equally likely, states of the world (Mahmoud, 2009). The use of this approach considers different scenarios for the unprecedented future and explores alternatives for management. One of the major global assessments that address scenario planning due to the impact of human activity on the environment is the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (“MEA”). This global…

beginning to face every year because of climate change. Climate change is greenhouse gases trapped in the atmosphere, causing earth’s temperature to rise. Climate change is a huge issue because it causes many problems that destroy lands and waters, and kill animals, plants, and humans or cause them to relocate. It is so important that every country, including China, and along with 50,000 business leaders showed up to a big meeting to address issues of climate change, how it is impacting their…

Specific Purpose To inform individuals about the importance of climate change, how it affects each and everyone of us. Introduction Humans have made extreme modifications to the earth 's environment in little more than a century, making climate change a serious issue ( Taylor 1999) The source for the expansion of climate change is from human activity. It has been proven that there is a correlation between human activity and climate change. As the human population increases the demand for…

rainfall is low (about 1,600 mm) and unevenly distributed, nearly 90% of annual rainfall is concentrated in the rainy season from May to November and just over 10% of the total dry season rainfall is months remaining in the year. Geographic location and climate have given BR-VT many advantages in terms of tourism: Being located in the most dynamic economic region of Vietnam,…

It is defined as a movement in the oceans that has a direction and is continuous. These abiotic features of the environment are created by the average or mean flow of the seawater, winds, Coriolis Effect, salinity and temperature difference, cabbeling and breaking waves. Coriolis Effect is the result of the rotating Earth. The rotating Earth changes the straight line path of the current and winds as they travel. Thus, the currents due to this in the Northern part move to the right side whereas…

taken away from them because of the people that said they would never hurt them. Can we apologize in advance for something we turned away from because we felt it wasn 't our problem or that we wont be around or have to deal with when it gets worse? Climate change has always been around, it plays a huge role in our lives and right now it 's worse than ever, showing no signs of slowing or stopping theres really only one factor to blame for it 's rapid increase, mankind.…

Through this course I have seen that students learn science many different ways, but not all those ways are the best for learning. The best way that this 4th grade teacher could teach this weather and climate lesson/unit is by having the students be involved in hands on activities! If the students are able to go outside and record data for themselves they would really get to know the material better and be able to retain this information in their long term memory. They can look at patterns they…
