Every winter you walk outside and you see birds flying south, also known as migration. With the help of climate change, it is messing up the birds’ migration instinct. Not helping climate change! In an article called” How Climate Drives Bird Migration” by David Tenenbaum, he talks about this issue. Tenenbaum uses data from an irruption (sudden burst of a number of animals) study based by citizen scientist (average people recording or doing things related to science) observations climate dipoles…

Climate The effect of climate on soil formation cannot be ignored, there is a strong correlation between climate and soil properties. Linguistically climate is the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period (1). The most important climatic components are Moisture and Temperature which effect due to its amount and seasonal distribution. The kind of climate determine the nature of weathering process and the rate of physical and chemical processes forming the…

The Earth’s climate has changed over the centuries, and is expected to continue to rise due to human activites. The burning of fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, which creates a greenhouse effect and warms the climate. Since human population is increasing, more food is needed to sustain the large population. In return, agriculture adds to this effect because farms release methane. Trees and other plants are needed because they yet they take carbon dioxide in…

already showed impact in Australia and New Zealand including water stress, shrinking glaciers, rising sea level, low rainfall patterns, and an increase of fires and heat waves. Scientists are informed that climate change will cause increases in extreme weather and a more frequent pattern. Decisions made today about…

twenty feet below me and looked about fifteen to twenty feet deep. The large trees surrounding the river had just changed to their fall colors, and some leaves began to drift down. Fall was my favorite time of year, with football games, the cold weather, Halloween, and Thanksgiving nothing was better. I layed back on the bridge, threw my arms above my head, and sighed. I had many things to do and hadn’t done any of it. I sat for a while and…

In the prologue of the book, Guns Germs and Steel, written by Jared Diamond, there is a discussion about a simple, yet difficult question asked by a politician named Yali. According to Yali, “Why is that you white people developed so much cargo and brought it to New Guinea, but we black people had little cargo of our own?” It is questioned as to why nations develop differently even though everything developed together at the same time. It is true that there are major differences between many…

over time and affected our society. It started in 650 B.C. and now in 2016 we use meteorology to detect weather patterns. In 650 B.C. babylonians tried to predict short-term weather changes based on the appearance of clouds and occurrence such as “haloes”. Chinese astronomers developed a calendar that divides the year into twenty-four festivals, with each festival having it’s own kind weather. According to NASA,”The greek philosopher, Aristotle wrote Meteorologica, a treatise that included the…

This text set will explore different kinds of weather and how it will affect people’s everyday activities. The text that will be used in this unit will be nonfiction and fiction. Nonfiction text will provide scientific facts about the weather; fiction text will provide students insight as to how fictional characters handle different kinds of weather. The literature to…

The Continental Divide has a tremendous impact on weather in North America and even as far away as Norway. Situated in the western half of North America running north and south, the Continental Divide creates a wall that moisture rich prevailing winds from the west continually bunch up against. As the pressure of packed moist air continues to build, the prevailing winds carry the energy up the western side of the divide allowing the system to build until it is released to the east to dump its…

GEOG 306 Literature Review Introduction Severe weather prediction is an evolving concept that regions adopt through the need for improved documentation and increased understanding of destructive weather-related forces. Extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall, storms or flash floods can considerably damage roads, railways and power lines. Regions focused on reducing impacts from extreme weather are appointing emergency management teams with the primary responsibility to proactively…
