eight species are significantly correlated with temperature and seven species arriving earlier during warmer years. (Elizabeth R.E et.al) Scientists at Fargo, ND have studied 83 species of birds for their arrival time over ten years. The study concluded that the majority of arriving earlier than they did historically. The uniqueness of this study is that they measured FAD (First arrival dates) and AGDU (Accumulated growing degree units). The accumulated growing degree units for a time of arrival…

vacuum cleaner, the noise barely audible above the other game tables. Loud clanking rang out as foosball figurines spun and kicked the ball around the table. Thuds from the poles being rammed against the table suggest an intense game. The pool table, often occupied by my dad and older brother, told of a calmer game. Their poles thumped against the wooden floor as the boys positioned themselves around the table to take their shot. Without a fifth person upstairs, Pac Man sounded from the game…

Inflatable Fishing Paddle Boards There are people out there that love fishing and then there are also people who want to take fishing to an extreme level. In the past, this meant that they wanted to go further out into the ocean, in deeper water, where they could find large fish. Now though, there is a new way of fishing that allows people to stay close to land and experience a new type of fishing that goes beyond your wildest dreams. It is all due to the inflatable fishing paddle boards that…

Upon success of the quest, Jason will be crowned ruler of his uncle’s land.…

My mom bought me a car in March 2017. It was a pearl white 1999 BMW 323I. I loved that car because I got to help pick it out from Craigslist. It was not my mom’s old car like I had before. I drove it home from Van Meter. I flossed the whole way home, swerving in and out of traffic. I was in love with it! Unfortunately, it did not last long and I am heart broken. After one day of driving it hard, my car let me down. It died. I got it started again, but it was hot. I was able to pull into a…

Henry Hudson was an English explorer, sea captain, and navigator during the late 15th century and early 16th century. He made four voyages as attempts to discover a northern route to go to Asia from Europe. Hudson’s route changed several times to avoid ice, bad weather, and shallow waters. He explored much of America and Canada. His exploration was very important in our history; some even say he founded New York. He made four voyages as attempts to discover a northern route to go to Asia from…

breathe, they inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, it enters the atmosphere whenever we breathe. Lastly, ocean currents can bring heat to the poles. As the currents move, they are carrying heat within them, and as they move towards the poles, they may heat the poles more. All of these factors have impacts on global warming, and it is becoming a very serious…

Ostuka writes in the perspective of the American neighbors saying, “office notices nailed to the telephone poles on the street corners downtown, but already they are beginning to tatter and fade, and after last week’s heavy spring rains only the large black letters on top- Instructions to All Persons of Japanese Ancestry” (117). I love this line because with all the businesses being taken over by the white people, this is a metaphor for all that is left of the Japanese in these communities,…

When someone calls me an American I take somewhat of offense to that. I'm Jamaican. Even though I may see myself as Jamican to anybody else in America I am black. I may even be considered African American. Majority of American citizens are white in comparison to the minority of black people. As the minority the views of black people are the same for most people in America. I know in New York, California and Florida they don't really have these strong racist views but that's only 6% of America. I…

One of the main abiotic factors influencing the distribution of biomes is global atmospheric circulation. Global atmospheric circulation is the mass movement of air around earth caused by thermal energy. This mass movement of air causes three distinct atmospheric circulation cells to form, these are the Hadley Cell, Ferrel Cell and Polar Cell. Between these three cells is a dynamic area called the Intertropical Convergence Zone. Persson (2006) tells us that the Hadley Cell is caused by solar…
