El Nino literally means “the child,” but is it really a normal child? Well, El Nino is not actually a child and is not even close to one. El Nino is the warming of the Pacific Ocean around the equator. It may cause climate changes that can affect the environment in which people live. “During the nineteenth century, the local residents [of Peru and Ecuador] named this warm current El Nino after the Christ child because it usually appeared during the Christmas season” (Tarbuck & Lutgens, 2006, p.546)

Climate happens between earths atmosphere and ocean.This is where energy is exchanged This is where great amount of water evaporate into the air or fall back as rain warm air around the equator rises and goes north towards the pole in the northern hemisphere.​we live at the bottom of an ocean of air. Air is made of nitrogen.oxygen, carbon dioxide,water vapor and many other different molecules and atoms on a gaseous state.Air pressure is the force per unit area applied on a surface by the weight

Amelia Earhart was more than just a female pilot, she did a lot of stuff for history that people do not realize to this day. She set many record in flying in her short career and she proved that women can do more than just be homemakers.She also inspired a whole new generation of aviators and dreamers , she helped them see that they did not have to stick to the status quo.Amelia Earhart’s early life lead to her becoming an american icon, aviation pioneer, author, and the first women to fly across

that on the Spring Equinox Nowruz, where the sun is believed to cross the equator, once the night and day is equal- the powers of the lion (symbolizing the sun) and the powers

late summer and early fall when the sun heats up the surface of the ocean, this change in the weather along with a few other important factors help produce the storm. A. Hurricanes emerge from the tropics of the Atlantic Ocean close to the earth’s equator because it is attracted to warm water with a temperature of at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit (Today’s Science, October 2004). As the temperature increases, it changes the liquid water into water vapor that forms clouds of warm, moist air causing it

Introduction: AUV’s are improving and technologically advancing to allow scientists and deep-sea researchers to explore the vast unknown of the underwater world. AUV’s are automated underwater vehicles that can explore bodies of water without the influence of an external control source. Although AUV’s have made

For my project, I will refuse to use plastic bags and I will use reusable bags instead. I am aware of the harmful effects plastic bags have on the environment, specifically in the ocean, and I want to do my part to help reduce this harm. Whenever I go grocery shopping, or just shopping in general, I will bring my own reusable bags to the store and refuse any plastic bags if they are offered to me. I do not go shopping very often (maybe once every two weeks), but when I do, I will be sure to always

The angle at which sunlight strikes the ground causes the seasons. Earth does not have an axis that is straight up and down, its axis is tilted 23.5°. When Earth revolves around the sun, the way the sunlight hits earth causes some places to be colder when they are tilted away from the sun, while other places are warmer because they are tilted towards the sun. An example of this is our Boston/ San Carlos data lab. In this lab, we looked at the weather for Boston and San Carlos de Bariloche. The reason

Three months seem to have flown by in the blink of an eye and yet so many things have changed in that time. We began this project with very little information about what the end product would be and why we were doing it but we learned a lot along the way. The purpose of the project was to make us think about what goes on in the sky over time. As it turned out, I was a slow starter. I work full-time and my regular lunch hour is from noon until one o 'clock, therefore making observations at 1:15 p

Two Research Studies into Animal Navigation Keeton conducted a study regarding the ability of pigeon’s to navigate. It was suggested that pigeons are able to detect the earth’s magnetic field, and therefore navigate with this aid. An experiment carried out to explore this possibility. Small magnets were attached to the heads of pigeons which were then released in unfamiliar surroundings. The magnets were designed to disrupt any detection of the earth’s magnetic field
