Solar wind

3,2,1… The clamps release and we are shot forward like a bullet in a barrel. The wind rips through my hair, my head is flung back against the seat, by body locks, adrenaline rushing through me. All I see is blue. My heart races, blood pumping. Red and yellow streaks rush past. I soar higher and higher. My head is pressed firmly against the seat, my face being flattened by the strong wind. Then we pause, just for a moment at the top, suspended 420 feet above the ground. All I see is the lake and…

An Occluded Front is a cold front that overtakes a warm front and the two fronts combine into one front. The chapter also explains how when it appears on a surface weather map that it is defined by a purple line that has alternating cold-front triangles and warm-front half circles, of which both figures run in the direction of the way the front is moving. There are two types of occluded fronts, the first is called a Cold Occlusion with the second being a Warm Occlusion. A cold occlusion is a…

Alvarado Period 1 Nov. 7, 2017 Wind Erosion Background Information: Wind is caused by changes in pressure and temperature in the Earth’s atmosphere. Wind erosion occurs when rocks and sediments are picked up and moved to another place by ice, water, wind, or gravity. Wind weathering usually occurs during the rainfall. Due to the temperature changes of the sea caused by the sun, the temperature of the surface rises, and the land heats the air above it. This heat causes wind to move faster in…

It was a humid and quiet day with my dad. Sitting in the woods waiting for one thing and only one thing. The only thing to hear for miles was the wind whistling in your ear as it passed. It was the last wednesday of the month, November 29, 2016. The second day of rifle season at the same time the last day of rifle season. A lesson came in as the bullet hit, a lesson that will never be forgotten. Sitting in the wood’s did not smell delightful, smelled like dirt and that’s it. Freezing sitting…

Electric Cooperatives: Going Beyond the Wires One day in July, a girl named Alexis and her dad were reading a story before bedtime as the lights start flickering. “Daddy, why are the lights doing that?” she said terrified holding onto her dad’s arm. “Don’t worry sweetheart, that happens a lot because of the electric company. I am calling a new company tomorrow to get it fixed.” He walks out of the room after giving his…

at least half up, I told them they needed to come outside- right away. Then, I rushed out of our hut to see if others had noticed. When I stepped outside, all I could hear was the constant pattering of the rain splashing down to the ground, and the wind slashing through the trees. Villagers were shouting and arguing in the streets and begging Chac for forgiveness. Suddenly someone pointed at our once plentiful fields of corn, which, just a day ago,…

Stepping out of my truck, I pound my right foot on the shaking, sandy, dusty, ground. I take a positive look on the main thing that made me drive over here in the first place, the blasting, whistling tornado. The tornado was exceptionally tall, and thick, reminding me of a nuclear mushroom cloud. The tornado literally reached up into the stormy clouds. Some of the dust that went along with the tornado went into my eyes, so, I had to look down, onto the dusty, shaking, landscape. The ground…

with a sense of relief. The protagonist says, “Almost in reconciliation, it seemed the same waves that had washed up on the beach when I was a boy were now fondly washing my feet, soaking black my shoes and pant cuffs”. But just as a large gust of wind, scary at first, but relieving in the end: Forty long years collapsed like a dilapidated house, mixing old time and new time together in a single swirling mass. All sounds faded, and the light around me shuddered. I lost my balance and fell into…

The largest storm to ever hit New York happened in October of 2012. In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald is brewing up an even larger storm.
