The overall climate of the Appalchian region can greatly vary depending on which area is being focused on. In most areas, the climate is temperate and humid under 2000ft of elevation, and gets colder as the elevation increases. Also, the climate is temperate as the mountains are in very close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. Furthermore, fog is usually present year-round because cold waters from the Labrador Current collide with warm waters from the Gulf Stream. Moreover, the air pushes the…

driving the climate and weather system. This is the largest chemical flux on the planet It does not look like there is a starting point for this cycle. Water stores in lakes and the ocean, transpires into the air creating condensation, precipitation back onto the planet's surface creating runoff, running into the ground creating ground water, and eventually making its way back to lakes and the ocean. This terrestrial system is continuous supporting life on the planet. Then,…

Droughts, a multi causal and complex environmental issue that can have serious consequences and serious strain on the earth. Droughts are caused due to climate change, it is a period of below-average precipitation in a given region, resulting in prolonged shortages in water supply and in California we are entering our fourth year of a record drought and should be taken serious as it is considered a drought if only after fifteen days of not receiving enough water, so we then depend on Aquifers.…

La Nina is a climatic pattern that distinguishes the cooling of sea surface temperature along the tropical coast of South America. La-Nina is described as the opposite to El-Niño which distinguished by warm sea surface temperature in the equatorial region of the Pacific ocean. The Southern Oscillation (SO) is a change in air pressure between the western and central tropical Pacific. The pressure variability changes the strength of the trade winds, that results in affecting the surface ocean…
