In the novel Z for Zachariah by Robert C. O'Brien, Ann lives in a valley with a self-contained weather system, referred to in the story as a "meteorological enclave." This valley is completely unaffected by the weather outside; therefore, it is protected from the radiation fallout after the nuclear war. After reading the novel, a question that rose was whether a meteorological enclave was theoretically possible? I concluded that that a theoretical meteorological enclave is possible, after…

we set for ourselves, trends we follow, and our behavior are derived from our culture. In this way, the misunderstood Minnesotan culture has impacted my perception, personality, and habits. For anyone unaccustomed to the weather of Minnesota, my perception of snow and cold weather must seem quite bizarre. While non-natives bury themselves beneath layers of blankets when the temperature drops below freezing, I pull on my jean shorts and flip flops in an attempt to wring every last drop…

Hei! Finland is a great country and although it has many differences from Florida, it has many similarities also. Our country and state of Florida in general is very different and we don’t have the same everyday life as Finnish people. There are more similarities than you would think, like in the types of agriculture we have, what we celebrate, and how our families are similar. First of all, the two areas have very different types of landscape. In Finland, the landscape consists of lots of hills…

place to go because of it being so close to the equator. The weather on average is 74 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter, and in the summer it is around 83 degrees Fahrenheit. Usually, when you have warm weather, humidity is present. In Mexico, the humidity can range from 18%-87%, depending on the season. Even though the warm temperatures are a good way to get away from the colder weather up north, it also has a lot of sun. Mexico’s weather is perfect for basking in the sun and getting a tan.…

To what extent does globalization contribute to sustainable prosperity for all people? I believe that we humans, and our actions, have created our once healthy planet into a dying one, and with our resources, and weather dying off, we won’t be able to sustain prosperity for anyone at all. In my opinion, sustainable prosperity for all people means that everyone has to meet their basic human needs with the confident knowledge of knowing that we won’t have to deny the future generation to have the…

While examining the impacts on crops, we will look at the effects of such phenomenon as extreme temperature (which may be hot or cold), increased CO2 concentration and the adverse effects of elevated exposure to ultraviolet rays on processes such as transpiration, photosynthesis and pollination to fully evaluate the effects of the global warming phenomenon. CO2 increase is generally very constructive in the growth of crops. It stimulates their growth and yield by enabling the photosynthesis…

put to an end if the general public had access to scholarly databases. The most commonly used excuse as to why global warming does not exist is the harsh winters certain areas of the United States receive. What many people do not know is that local weather and overall climate do not coincide with each other. In addition, environmental changes and actions needed to help slow the process down has become a political issue as well. To begin, global warming is an issue caused by industrial linked,…
