2.1 Land Surface Temperature (LST) Land Surface Temperature is the radiative skin temperature of the land surface of land surface processes from local through global scales or it can be defined as an average temperature of features of the exact surface of the Earth calculated from measured radiance. It is a fundamental property of the Earth’s surface that can be determined remotely. Most of the papers uses the term land surface temperature and air temperature interchangeably, however these two…

Crop and livestock production is a major source of two greenhouse gases, methane and nitrous oxide. The latter is produced by the leaching, volatilization and runoff of nitrogen fertilizers and the breakdown of crop residues and animal wastes. Through burning of biomass, agriculture also releases large quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Agriculture also stands to suffer adversely from climatic change. In tropical environments the effects of climate change on agriculture and hence…

because the rocket launcher acted on the rocket making the rocket blast into the air. The experiment was in a controlled area that was flat and in the middle of the woods. They were eight miles away from the town. At every launch there was calm weather. The boys used different metals which had different melting points that would be stronger to keep the rocket together better. The materials they used were the fuel type which was alcohol or 'rocket candy'. The cylinder was made out of metal and…

Rain is much more than weather in literature. In Julia Alvarez’s In the Time of the Butterflies, rain is used to symbolize a time of trouble and confusion that has washed over the country, but the destructive element of the weather is also used to symbolize the new start that is to come for the Dominican Republic.

The location dictates the soil fertility, therefore the extreme weather such as the heat waves, droughts, strong winds and heavy rains affecting the crop growth varies by region. Droughts in the Great Plains will stress the agriculture by the increase in temperature, less groundwater and flooding. In the…

Michael Pollan's essay “Why Bother” argues that each individual should contribute in making insignificant life changes in order to improve the conditions of climate change. Although without co-operation and scientific certainty, it wouldn't be possible to make the required level of change.

Instead, the difficulty is realizing it will only take small changes from…
