Connor Beckworth and Kyle Nordin are my two best friends. Connor had dark black hair, a tan face and heavily built in the legs, but his arms were scrawny and thin.

He liked the little plan he had, Isaac slowly walked away from his house, moving towards the beach. He wanted to be completely quiet, not alerting anyone in the area. He looked back at his small turquoise house, before continuing on. Isaac looked at the houses in the neighborhood seeing, differences in the structures and the colors. It felt like each house had their own personality. Isaac liked that it was easy to tell the houses apart, while the houses in Vircorden town had very little…

global warming on carbon stocks in Canada’s agricultural soil. Smith el at. (2009) used weather data from 1951 – 2001 to predict climate scenario in the future until 2099 and used Century Model to predict the soil organic carbon would gradually increase between 1960 to 2099. They also divided Canada into 3 different weather zones which are semi - arid, sub – humid and humid to calculate…

Snores disturbed the morning peace. A big yawn and a large gust of wind russled me enough to wake me. I stretched side to side in order to shake away the nights stiffness. The cave walls were glistening with condensed barbarian breath, and old cave slime, a beautiful sight to behold. I struggled to get up, ready to enjoy the days tasks. First was a morning shower in the cavern waterfall. The cold wilderness water cascading all around always had a restorative effect on what could seem a brittle…

It seemed like every year would be different with weather, the year before this Halloween was extremely hot, but this year was quite opposite. The weather outside wasn’t really that intense, but the wind was a whole other story. The wind was blowing so fast with such cold gusts that everyone had to wear winter jackets or sweatshirts over their costumes. It was a very treacherous night out there…

Hurricanes use simple air convection to turn wind into a destructive device. A hurricane is formed only over warm waters near the equator. Tropical cyclones are…
