Gulfs of the Pacific Ocean

Oceans are huge components of the climate system. The big cause for most climate change on Earth is the atmosphere and the oceans are an essential factor. Even though they do not respond to the climate changes they do have a role in the climate system. Earth is a big planet with at least 71 percent covered with water and 96.5 percent is located in the Earth’s oceans. There is an extreme interaction between the atmosphere, ocean and ice. In the past, ocean circulation has strongly impacted the climate

are selfish, hard headed, fool mined incompetent beings. Climate change is the barrier that we don 't really have any research on. El ninos and la ninas are the cause. To know El Niño, you need to know the intercoarse between the ocean and the atmosphere. Warm ocean surface water currents heats and adds moistness to the air above it, forming a low pressure system. Cool surface water cools the air above it, forming a high pressure system . In a Low, the warm, moist air produces tropical thunderstorms

This unit is designed to provide opportunities for second grade students to explore and research animals in the ocean, the characteristics and features of the ocean, and how people interact within the ocean habitat in a positive or negative way. Students discover five features of the ocean floor and then create a model of the ocean floor. Students complete a map labeling continents and oceans. After playing a globe toss game and discovering how much of the earth is covered by land and water, students

El Nino is a warm current in the Pacific Ocean that flows southward along South America’s west coast. It usually last nine to twelfth months and returns an average 4 years. Normally deep, cold Pacific waters well up to the surface of the Peruvian and Ecuadorian coast, bringing up nutrients and chilling surface waters and causing climatic changes worldwide. A powerful El Nino in 1982 and 1983 caused severe drought in Australia and Indonesia and an unusually large number of storms in California. During

forests and prairies. This always them to have many different opportunities, such as shipping of ore. Canada’s two longest rivers are the Mackenzie, which empties into the Arctic Ocean, and the St. Lawrence, which begins the Great Lakes and empties into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, connecting Canada to the Atlantic Ocean. The Mackenzie is over 2,600 miles long and the St. Lawrence is over 1900 miles long. There are also many other rivers, but these two are the main ones. The Canadian Shield is one

Abstract The SAARC region with over a billion populations is contiguous to the Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. Utilization of ocean resources for power generation such as tidal, thermal solar and wind for energy, along with other green technologies like seaweed farming and sustainable fisheries for food would need to be incorporated in a broad framework for the region. Development of ocean-based energy systems can be integrated with early warning networks linked by satellite which

A hurricane is referred to a storm that forms over tropical and subtropical waters. Hurricanes have the power to destroy life and property. Hurricanes are referred to as “Typhoons” in the Western Pacific and “Cyclones” in Southeast Asia. On average, the “Hurricane Season” begins on June 1 and ends on November 30. A Hurricane’s intensity is measured on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. A storm is classified as a hurricane when its wind speed goes above 74 mph (NOAA 2014). A hurricane is classified

she moved to Florida, which is on the Gulf of Mexico. Soon Sylvia became very interested learning about the wildlife in the Gulf and its coast. Then as she got older, Sylvia wanted to go to college but her parents didn’t have the money to send her to college. Luckily, Sylvia was an outstanding student in school and won scholarships to Florida State. Through the school years, Sylvia worked a lot in the college laboratories. Sylvia went scuba diving in the Gulf of Mexico for the first time at the age

Section 1 Marine Biome: (characteristics) • Biggest biome in the world • Covers 70% of the earth • Includes five main oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Southern, as well as many smaller Gulfs and Bays. • Includes five main oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Southern, as well as many smaller Gulfs and Bays. Weather: The marine biome has a big influence on our terrestrial climate. It provides rain for crops through evaporation, wind to help circulate the air, and

The History and Geography of Mexico The Earth’s third largest continent, taking up a massive 9.54mi, is North America. With 23 separate countries making up this huge land mass, there is certainly room for variety. One of these countries is Mexico, which is located in the mountainous west. Mexico has its own unique history, culture, and geography that sets it apart from the other countries in North America. Mexico was the site of several advanced Amerindian civilizations-including the Olmec, Toltec
