Nino Vs Peru

I wake up to the warmth of the sun touching my skin; I can hear the birds chirping outside calling my name to get ready and start the day. I get out of bed just to be attacked by two furry blurs trying to lick my face and showing me how much they love me. I know that I have a long day ahead of me but I have no idea what I should do. I could go to the beach and feel the soft sand in between my toes or go to a store and prepare a nice dinner for myself. So much time in a day, but I don’t have a clue on how to spend it. These are the types of decisions I need to make on a daily basis. I go outside and take in the beauty of my surroundings. Everything seems so perfect, so beautiful, as if it was supposed to look that way. El Salvador is a wonderful place, full of wonderful people, and amazing scenery and there is no place I would rather be at the moment. Living in California is wonderful, but it doesn’t give me the culture that I am looking for. El Salvador is like my home, somewhere where I can visit once in a while, but my real home is California where I will always want to live. Although El Salvador and California share some similarities like the settings, there are some traits like foods, culture, and the people that make them special in their own way.

And with the earth warming up the ice caps melt this can lead to flooding which means less land. Less land means fewer animals and places to grow crops. This means less food for us and over all has a domino affect.

There are twenty Spanish speaking counties worldwide. Out of those twenty countries there are about 475 million Spanish speaking people. People often believe most Hispanics are very similar in these countries, but in fact they are very diverse. Some the differences are the foods, music, and history of the people. The two countries that show this are Peru and Mexico. These countries are from two distinct cultures and two different continents.

Peru is an ever-changing climate system due to the mixture of terrain and climate that consist of everything from tropical forest in the east and deserts in the west. Additionally, in the Andes Mountains the temperature is always much colder than the rest of the Country and is located in the center of the Country. Peru maintains a stable southern hemisphere climate, one that is near reversed of the northern hemisphere with the summer months being December through February and the winter following in July through September. However, off the coast of South America an event changes the weather that happens every 2-7 years. The local citizens have named this event El Nino, which means "The Little Boy" due to its occurrence in December. During El Nino, the waters off Peru's coast begin to warm and cause large numbers of fish to die, effecting the wildlife and local population greatly. The fishers that live on the coast of Peru suffer tremendously due to the fish that die off are their main source of food and food production during this event. Additionally,

When Cortes and his crew arrived in South America the Aztecs thought that they were sent by their God,Quetzalcoatl, who said that he would appear when the end of the world was near. The Aztecs treated Cortes like a God and the relationship between the two was pretty friendly at that time. Once Cortes and his crew stopped attending their sacrificial offerings and religious meetings, the Aztecs became suspicious of them. They wanted Cortes and his crew to leave but didn’t want to kill them since they weren’t sure if they were Gods or not. This was a relief for Cortes because he was already trying to find a way out. He knew that the next time they will visit they will have to be prepared and bring weapons, horses, and soldiers.when they visited again the diseases that they brought defeated the Aztecs. Cortes finally defeated the Aztecs ,but the relationship between the two was ended with a war.

The rise of sea levels are projected to increase warmer waters from one and a half to two degrees in Central North Pacific in 2050, 1.9 to 2.6 degrees in Northern Islands, and also two to five degrees in the Caribbean at the end of this century. This rise of temperature decreases the life of ecosystems in the ocean and resulting in less freshwater for

Unforeseen weather that reduces soil moisture levels and increases water temperatures would affect all of the four organisms I picked. In the algae population, this species would not be able to intake enough oxygen to grow, therefore, this population would suffer. Moreover, warmer water temperature would affect the feeding behavior of the ghost shrimp, starfish, and shark population. For example, the ghost shrimp would not have enough algae plants to feed upon, therefore, they would starve, which would lead to domino effect throughout the ecosystem. In addition, all of the three species reproduction schedule would change, thus, they would not be able to reproduce as many offspring as they would in a normal environment. This would lead to less

the oceans are also affected by the climate change because the climate change affects the sea animals that live on corals or any fish that feed off the

Overall El Niño is a world wide phenomenon which affects countries in different ways depending on were they are situated and whether they are a LEDC or MEDC.

America has a different way of eating than a spanish-speaking country, like Spain for example. America eats at different times, eats different things. Now let’s say a person from Spain, or another spanish speaking country, is here in the US to take classes Ben Davis University. The student’s name is Lana. Lana is experiencing something called culture shock, experienced by someone who is subjected to an unfamiliar culture, way of life, or set of attitudes. The everyday life of a American and Spaniard is different, not only in culture, but in every aspect.

Climate change increases the possibility of extreme weather events which in turn makes disease transmission more frequent in poor, developing countries. The weather event known as El Nino has been determined to be one of the leading environmental factors that influences disease. El Nino is a band of warmer than average water, which

The present day country of Peru today is nothing like the Peru during the 1200 through 1519. Before the conquistadors arrived in Peru, a group of natives called the Incas had existed there. The Incas had lived in the Inca Empire between 1200 to 1532, which was created by Manco Capac. Manco Capac was a person who was deemed to be cultural hero according to Inca mythology.["Peru History Timeline."] The mostly known ruler of the Incas was Pachacuti who had been known for gaining territory for the empire. During this time, Pachacuti was not the ruler of Inca empire but in fact his father, Viracocha was emperor. Pachacuti had done this due to the fact that the Inca’s rival, the Chanca Indians were invading the empire. The legendary battle of Cuzco

According to the Guardian, the historical monument in Peru (Machu Picchu) is under tight surveillance due to a sexual fetish of "streaking" around the monuments vicinity. The site is known to survive many catastrophes yet they believe the act of "streaking" to be something much more threatful. "It has survived five centuries of conquest, earthquakes, landslides and mass tourism. But Peruvian authorities fear that Machu Picchu is facing a new threat: streakers" (pg. 1). The Peruvian authorities felt that it was ruining their beautiful heritage because nothing out of the ordinary is allowed in the monument. Although the tourists were streaking around the monument, they had no right to take photos or videos because it's forbidden in Machu Picchu.

The El Nino Southern Oscillation, or simply El Nino, has hit Ecuador with devastating effect a number of times over the past t we nty-five years. The 1982-83 El Nino cause over $650 million in damage, and was the cause of 600 deaths, wreaking havoc on Ecuador ’s agricultural industries especially. Most recently, the El Nino of 1997-98 battered Ecuador, causing $2.65 billion worth of damage. This El Nino is considered to be one of the biggest ever, and the floods and torrential downpours that struck Ecuador again crippled the agricultural industries, including the important banana industry. In addition, parts of the SOTE pipeline we re damaged, and along with a global depression in oil prices Ecuador ’s economy was thrown into a tailspin.

Coastal lands, agriculture, weak permafrost, increase in disease, weather patterns, ocean circulation, and biodiversity are few elements affected by this emergency. There is major concern for coastal flooding. IPCC estimates that 43% of coastal wetlands will be asphyxiated, beaches will wear down 100 to 200 ft., and 5,000 square miles will be overwhelmed with sea water. (Greenpeace) In Chesapeake Bay, beaches have already been lost, resulting from more than an inch increase in sea level. Many islands and low surface level countries will be inundated . Millions of people could be affect in Bangladesh, China, and New York due to flooding. Any country with a small economy can suffer greatly being unable to adapt and replenish resources. Pests that use warm weather will have more time to reproduce and feed on infected species, usually passing on infections. Allergens and viruses will be more persistent. Forest fires will increase. An example for agriculture damage is Kansas’ ability to be 4 degrees warmer during winter which is bad news for the winter wheat grown with cold air usually sent southward from the Artic ice. Also, during summer Kansas can lose valuable cropland from soil losing 10 percent of its moisture. (NRDC) Shrinkage in fresh water supply will result in water stress for people that rely on spring water, such as the Himalayans
