Powerful Hurricanes”). Unfortunately, the shorelines and the local communities are not the only things that are affected. Hurricanes can change the woodland structure further inland. Mangrove swamps and other forested wetlands typically take on the high winds that causes defoliation in vegetation and decimates the tree canopies (“Hurricanes: Science and Society”). In the article, “Hurricanes: Science and Society,” scientists state, “Storm surges can also transport salt water, sediment and other…

kilometres in length. It is home to vast varieties of environments that range from sandy beaches to rugged cliffs and beyond. Many iconic features have occurred as a result of physical processes such as coastal (Tides, Waves and Currents) and atmospheric (Wind and Rain). As well as these examples we will also look at the Terrestrial (Land) processes that have influenced or been influenced…

On March 30, 2013, a Eurocopter AS350 B3 helicopter crashed during a search and rescue mission (SAR) (NTSB 911AA Eurocopter, 2014). Earlier that day an individual wrecked on a snowmobile near Talkeetna, and called the Alaska Department of Public Safety (DPS).

In “The Storm” Kate Chopin introduces Calixta, her family, and her soon to be lover, Sir Alcee Laballiere. Calixta does not notice the upcoming storm at first, along with Sir Alcee as he rides on his horse towards her gallery, but they both approach her quietly and eventually catch her off guard. Throughout the short story, the tempest escalates in severity, while the “storm” of love and untouched emotions inside the house escalates in intimacy. By using the physical weather change as a metaphor…

a result of Hurricane Otto because “All that rain combined with Central America 's higher terrain could cause deadly flooding and mudslides” (Morgan, 2016). This can cause major damage to these Middle America countries. Flooding can be worse than winds because water damage can lead to mold and sometimes never leave an area. (Flood Basics, 2016). These Middle America countries have to deal with resulting issues from floods every…

Lars and the Real Girl. (The Lake Scene) One prodigious technique that I have established in this limited scene is Pathetic Fallacy, in another definition, a Weather Metaphor. A clear example of this technique shown was when Gus has quoted “Is there a storm coming?”, and Karen has replied “the weather said no.” This showed me that there is a few overcast color’s involved in this scene, such as Grays and Blacks. Gray is a cool, neutral color but is also a moody color associated with being dull,…
