Physical Geography of the North East
Project 1: My Physical Geography
My name is Thomas and I Study Journalism at Uconn. What makes me unique is that I play the didgeridoo. What I would like to get out of taking this class is a better understanding of what the world is made of and how people live in there part of the globe. I am from Bedford, New York. Bedford is about an hour north of New York City.
2. Weather and Climate:
Bedford New York is located in North Eastern United States. The average temperature there is around 85 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer and around 25 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the winter. Bedford is located further inland than most other locations so temperatures do fluctuate, because of its distance from major oceans. Bedford though average temperature can be slightly higher though than certain regions because of its lower altitude in relation to sea level. This means that there are more atmospheres above it allowing for a greater greenhouse effect, making its temperatures more extreme, but not to the point of the land being inhospitable. Bedford is rural town even though it is located about an hour New York City, and unlike most of the some of the more urban parts of the USA, it doesn 't have the effects of an urban heat island.
In Bedford it rains during the summer, and snows during the winter, much like the rest of the North East. Bedford isn 't a rainy place, just as much it isn 't a snowy place either. Typically during the summer it will rain maybe once every other week, on occasion more, but sometimes less. The humidity in the summer and hot summer sun, results in extremely hot and sticky days that last throughout mid to late summer. Sometimes though when it gets too hot during the summer occasionally thought which results in a thunderstorm, or a short lived rain storm. This is because of the convection process goes on too fast, where the water cannot evaporate and rise fast enough into the atmosphere, or because there are different
