Climate

ocean is warmer, large ice formations, like glaciers and the polar ice caps, naturally melt back faster and add more water to the oceans. The melting ice caps are raising sea levels at an accelerating rate. According to Howard (2015), “A bombshell climate study published this week warns that

Climate: The climate of the interior plains is continental, which basically means that the climate is relatively dry with extremely hot summers and cold winters. The weather is very diverse and may change quickly without warning. In the North of the physiographic region, the winters are long and the summers are short and cool whereas in the South, the the winters are harsh with little precipitation and long summers. Although the humid weather and the flat lands create an ideal place to grow crops

the upper ocean are important for interpreting the global climate and its variability. The upper ocean is often referred to as the ocean mixed layer (ML). It is a quasi-homogeneous layer of oceanic tracers regulated by turbulence due to air-sea exchanges of heat and momentum fluxes. The thickness of the ML modulates its heat capacity and controls the evolution of sea surface temperature (SST), which is important for understanding climate dynamics. Therefore, the mean state and seasonal cycle of ocean

The Arid climate has irregular seasons. Say for instance, the Sahara Desert is mainly always hot and dry. However, some areas change in temperature depending on the latitude, and surrounding climate. So the two main seasons, summer and winter. Can range from as hot as 130 degrees, to as cool as negative 30 degrees. Also, latitude determines what the temperature and seasons will be like. Is the main factor that determines Arid climate. An area must receive less than 10 inches in a year to be Arid

The two climate myths that I found interesting are "There is no consensus" and "Animals and plants can adapt". There is no consensus Myth: The Petition Project features over 31,000 scientists signing the petition stating "There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide will, in the forseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere”. Correct Answer: So a consensus in science is different from a political one. There is no vote. In the scientific

Tanzania's Climate Tanzania represents a wealth of ecological diversity, ethnic diversity, and geographical diversity. It contains both the tallest mountain in Africa as well as the largest lake, and is a tourist hotspot for safaris and expeditions to Mt. Kilimanjaro. The citizens of Tanzania are utterly dependent on the weather for their two major businesses, agriculture and tourism. Thus, the climate of Tanzania is worth examining in greater detail. Tanzania has two distinct seasons, wet

Summary of what the article is about We've been told repeatedly throughout the years that our earth's climate continues to change. However, it is rare that during these conversations the possibility of there being an unceasing increase in the temperatures in our oceans due to climate change brought up specifically. There being a potential rise in temperature and the ramifications that such a thing would bring are what this particular article is written about. Even though the study itself

The concept of climate change has been around for quite a while. The earliest mention of climate change dates back to the 19th century. Swedish scientist, Svante Archenius was the first scientist to study the effect of CO2 on climate. (Rodhe et al 1997) The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) defines climate change as “A change in the state of the climate that can be identified (e.g by using statistical tests) by changes in mean and/or the variability of its properties and that persists

Bradenton, Florida temperatures climates are similar to those of the tropics. Looking at the climatological chart above we can see that the second day of each month of August, September, October, March, May and July temperatures can range from eighty one degrees to a record high of ninety six degrees, with low temperatures falling to sixty two degrees in May. In the slightly cooler months of December, January, February, April and June temperatures did not exceed seventy nine degrees, nor fall below

hear the words “climate change” what comes to mind? Probably weather and the changes. Many of us watch the news or use an app on our cellphones/electronic devices to keep an eye on the weather for the day, week, or even the month. But, there is actually a difference between weather and climate. Weather is actually “the changes we see and feel outside from day to day. It might rain one day and be sunny the next. Weather also changes from place to place” (Dunbar, 2014). Whereas “climate is the usual weather
