National Geographic Kids: Weather is a great text that allows students to understand and relate to different kinds of weather. It is presented in a way that the information is easy to comprehend and introduces new vocabulary words. It is an informative book and very well written for children interested in the weather and the world around…
A. Climate- Winter- mild and dry air. Weather systems come from the North and West, mostly north. Spring- cool and dry air. Weather systems come from the North and West, mostly west. Summer- warm and humid. Weather systems come from East, West, and the South. Fall- cool and dry. Weather systems come from the North and West, mostly west.…
Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a particular place and time. Climate is a location's average weather conditions over a specific period of time. For example, Weather looks at what is happening right now. Climate however looks at what the weather as done in the past and projects what the weather should do. Like normally we get 20 inches of rain in the summer and it's safe to assume that we will receive close to that same amount of rain.…
The weather was described at the beginning and end of major events. Even though, weather is something that happens in real life. It represents something more significantly and different than what is being read. The day of the clutter’s being found the sun was shining through the windows, it was a bright sunny day. This shows the opening of the Clutter’s case, it shows the reader opening the mystery of what could happen. The weather changes shortly the day after to grey gloomy storms. This shows the trouble that Holcomb is going through without the Clutter family. Finally, the storm ended when Dick and Perry are brought to Kansas, and turned into the bright sunny day. This ends the mystery of the case.…
8. The three abiotic spheres are the Atmosphere, Hydrosphere and the Lithosphere. Each one of these spheres interacts with each other and the biosphere in unique and different ways. The atmosphere works with the biosphere in that it uses the gases released from living things to form itself. It also receives gases from the Lithosphere, or the earths crust to help form itself. The atmosphere helps all living things survive by keeping an oxygen rich environment and keeping out harmful rays from the sun. The lithosphere helps control the movement of heat from within the earths crust to help make it possible for life to survive. It also is part of the soil layer which is essential to plant life. The Hydrosphere is very important because it has all the water on earth. This is in the form of ice sheets, liquid or vapor, and they are all essential to the survival of living things.…

No, I don’t completely agree with this statement. In the first text, the weather was described to be quite violent because the wind outside was very strong such that the occurrence of ‘snails being blown across the patio like sailboats’ was to happen. Similarly, the weather in the second text is described to be powerful in the terms of the wind (‘shrieking wind’; ‘Wind slung Quoyle’). Although I do believe that in the second text the wind is more forceful and dangerous as the winds has direct contact with the main characters as they push Quoyle away from his aunt. It’s almost like fate didn’t want them to be together and the weather helps in making that happen. The quote, ‘Weather here beyond anything you know.’ suggests that even your imagination…
Weather is something we all experience every single day. A lot of time people refer to weather as the way things always are in an area. This isn’t entirely incorrect, however weather is what is going on in that certain place at that certain time. The official definition is the state…
Weather plays an important role in our everyday lives. It determines our daily and weekly forecast that includes sunshine, rain, snow, and storms of several kinds depending on what part of the United States you live in. I believe, the weather also affects our mood, and the clothes we wear. My favorite kind of weather is spring weather. I enjoy the sunny days and cool evenings without that sticky feeling we feel during Texas hot summers.…
The assumptions aren’t totally plugged out of thin air, as controlling the weather isn’t just a science fiction story these days. Scientist have been able to control the creation of rain to limited extend and some of which has done with the help of dioxin, for instance.…
In The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, weather is often an undercurrent of what's happening in the novel. "When all is said and done, the weather and love are the two elements about which one can never be sure" (Alice Hoffman, Here on Earth). With weather one is never sure of how the day is going turn out, sunny or rainy? The same goes for love, loves me or loves me not? Throughout The Great Gatsby, the weather and location often reflects the mood and the people in the surrounding area.…
In the novel, Frankenstein, Mary Shelley uses the impact of certain weathers to advocate her points. For example, right before Victor electrifies the creature, “the rain pattered dismally against the panes…” (66). Through this illustration, Shelley presents weather because it can be analyzed that the atmosphere was suspenseful and dark. The rain could be seen as a symbol of loneliness in a way that Victor has always went against the crowd and did what he desires. In addition it could also give off a vibe that something bad will happen-the undeniable truth of his discovery. Another weather element that Shelley used was snow. As Victor was searching for his creature for revenge, he noticed “the unstained snowy mountain-top, the glittering pinnacle,…
The sun also heats up the plants and trees. They lose moisture out of their leaves that is called transpiration, it goes into the air. The vapor in the air gets cold and changes back to liquid. This condensation creates clouds. When the clouds get so heavy from the condensation they release precipitation in the form of rain, hail, sleet or snow. This precipitation falls directly into the ocean and over the land, the water travels over and under the land and heads back to the streams, rivers and the ocean. And since we all need water to survive this is very important. We must take care of what we let get into the ground and our…
In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, rain is used as a symbol to represent the washing away of Victor Frankenstein’s false beliefs. Thomas C. Foster explains in his book, How to Read Literature Like a Professor, that the weather in a story plays a significant role in the meanings of events and the moods of the characters in stories (Chapter 10: ‘It’s More than Just Rain or Snow’). He describes how “Weather is never just weather. It’s never just rain. And that goes for snow, sun, warmth, cold, and probably sleet.”…
A winter storm is an event in which the dominant varieties of precipitation are forms that only occur at cold temperatures, such as snow or sleet, or a rainstorm where ground temperatures are cold enough to allow ice to form (i.e. freezing rain). In temperate continental climates, these storms are not necessarily restricted to the winter season, but may occur in the late autumn and early spring as well. Very rarely, they may form in summer, though it would have to be an abnormally cold summer, such as the summer of 1816 in the Northeast United States of America. In many locations in the Northern Hemisphere, the most powerful winter storms usually occur in March (such as the 1993 Superstorm) and, in regions where temperatures are cold enough, April.…
