The History and Explanation of Hurricanes Hurricanes are an example of nature’s greatest manifestations of God 's power and peace simultaneously. Throughout history, hurricanes have been recognized as some of the most violent storms ever recorded. A hurricane can be defined as, “ A violent, tropical, cyclonic storm of the western North Atlantic, having wind speeds of or in excess of 72 miles per hour.” Cyclonic storms are those with, “A system of winds rotating inward to an area of low…

Approximately 10 years after the disaster that was Katrina, people still mourn the existence of their serene lives before the storm. Katrina’s powers left millions homeless and close to a thousand dead. Though most of houses were rebuilt and business is back to normal, the cities and towns affected by this tragedy will never be the same. In late August 2005, a tropical storm, soon to be known as one of the biggest hurricanes in American history, formed over the Bahamas.…

There are 8 public universities in Mississippi that comes under the Institution of Higher Learning (IHL). Of the 8 universities, only Mississippi State University and University of Mississippi offer both undergraduate and graduate degrees in geography. Jackson State University, Alcorn State University, Delta State University, Mississippi State for Women, and Mississippi Valley State University offer no geography degrees. However, some of them offer geography related degrees. Mississippi State…

I am a senior at Miami High School and am currently enrolled in various rigorous courses designed for readying students for college. These courses include AP Calculus, AP Literature, and AP Environmental Science. In my junior year, I took two of the most vigorous and mentally challenging courses offered at my school, AP Language and Composition and AP Chemistry. Presently, my educational goal in high school is to raise my rank in my class because currently my unweighted rank is sixth out of one…

childhood,but he was a very bright boy. At the age of 18 Alfred attended the University of Berlin to take various science courses. As his education went on, he discovered his interest in astronomy, meteorology, and physics. He was able to get his PhD in astronomy, but he decided to focus on the study of meteorology. Wegener had his first expeditions in 1906. This year he went to Greenland as the official meteorologist. They explored the coastline of the island, something that hadn’t been done…

one, they have to attend 4 years to complete their bachelor in Meterology, and it's an additional 2 years to complete the graduate program. Although many schools offer nondegree programs in basic meteorology, most of the people that want to be a meteorologists hold a undergraduate degree in meteorology. The program includes basic courses in physics, chemistry, biology, calculus, and computer science. On a daily basis meterologist accomplish many tasks, here are a few of them; record atomospheric…

needs to establish communications networks whether internally or externally. External networks would involve communication and collaboration wit h local social services (Fire department, Police, Ambulance), News media stations and The Bureau of Meteorology. Fire Department: The network with the Fire Department allow collaboration in assisting in rescue operations. Ambulance: Networking with the ambulance would help collaborate during disasters and hazards that threaten the region, and…

Although he has done lots of work on meteorology in the beginning, he is best known for his theory of “Cycle of Erosion”. In meteorology, he wrote about eighty articles and published a textbook in 1894. He covered wide variety of topics of meteorology including weather forecasting, tornadoes and the heat budget of the Erath. He focused himself in geomorphology and stopped teaching meteorology in 1896. Unlike the geologist of that time who was concentrated on stratigraphy…

I argue that many different branches of science are reducible to one fundamental one- physics. In this essay, I will use Pasteur’s work to demonstrate that biology and chemistry are reducible to physics - the study of interactions between matter and energy. By reducible, I mean that these sciences (and other hard sciences) can be simplified to the point where they deal with the same fundamental matters as physics. During the 1700s, chemists engaged in a long-standing debate over what caused…

Sri Lanka is well known as an agricultural country from an ancient time. The primary source of water for agricultural production for most of the world is rainfall. Three main characteristics of rainfall are its amount, frequency and intensity, the values of which vary from place to place, day to day, month to month and also year to year. Precise knowledge of these three main characteristics is essential for planning its full utilization. Most rain water is used in agriculture for crop production…
