Weather is a day-to-day change in the atmospheric condition such as temperatures and humidity. The climate is the observed weather for an extended period hence it identifiable with specific locations. The climate system is made of the elements such as biosphere (living organisms), cryosphere (ice sheets, oceans, and atmosphere) and geosphere (rocks, soils, and sediments).All these factors influence the changes in the movement of heat on the environment, which leads to climate change. The oceans…

Carbon Dioxide and Climate Change Research Question: Is the rate of climate change affected by the amount of carbon emission? Hypothesis: If the Earth's concentration of carbon is high, than there will also be an increase in the Earth’s land temperature because of greenhouse gases that are created over time resulting in the warm up the earth’s land. Background Information: The earth is kept warmer than it should be because of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. They retain heat. One of…

In times of war, people stop thinking straight. They let their emotions take control of their actions, and those actions take a toll on people.

The Cold War was a time where the world’s leading empires were at great tension. America's alliance with the Soviet Union was beginning to crumble without a common enemy such as the Soviet Union and Japanese. Another factor was the fact that Stalin was refusing to join the…

One degree is the difference between freezing and melting. One degree is the difference between surviving and thriving. One degree is the difference between the global average temperature of the year 1900 and the year 2014. The world has seen a 0.66º C increase in temperature, and while it may seem like a small change, it will have a major effect on daily lives and the ecosystem in the near future (Global Land and Temperature Anomalies). The main contributor to this increase is the effect of…

Unlike any other communication technology, Power Line Communications (PLC) is a technology whereby a sender modulates the data to be sent, injects it onto medium, and the receiver demodulates the data to read it. The basic difference is that in PLC no extra wiring is needed. Considering the ubiquity of power lines, it implies that with PLC, virtually all line-powered devices can be controlled or monitored. Generally, PLC uses the same electric cables for the purpose of power delivery and…

In the Askins’ free time (cont’d.) Many people in town would move out to the beach. Mr. Askins’ remembers these times like they just happened yesterday.
