1. A large number of fish and marine plants may die, the dead fish and birds may liter the water and beaches, their decomposing bodies deplete the waters oxygen. The El Nino event is often a cause for droughts causing more brush fires and crop failures. When it comes to wind; the El Nino decreases the strength of tropical storms and hurricanes.
2. The wind in the northern and southern hemispheres would go in the opposite direction that they currently typically flow in. As well as the wind ocean currents would switch with a cold current flowing off of the east coast and a warm current off of the west coast.
3. Large pressure systems do not travel east to west in the United States because of the jet stream in the United States. The jet stream in the United States is a west to east stream, this moves the pressure systems across the United States.
4. 500 Mb chart would be more important because a surface chart only shows what is going happening on the surface. A 500 Mb chart will not only determines the movement on the surface but also will tell you what the winds are doing higher up giving you an idea if the weather will weaken or get stronger.
5. The four types are Continental Polar cP, Continental Tropical cT, Maritime Polar mP, and Maritime tropical mT. cP would originate over the ice and snow covered regions of the Arctic, northern Canada and Alaska. In my region this type of front would bring cold weather and frigid temperatures. cT would originate in the summer months only and from northern Mexico. These air masses would create dry and hot conditions. These are typically found in the southwest of the United States. mP would originate over Asia and frozen polar regions. These would produce rain clouds and in colder air the rain turns to snow. mT would originate in the Gulf of Mexico. These would create hot temperatures heavy rain and extensive flooding in California.

    All currents in the northern hemisphere move in a clockwise direction, while in the southern hemisphere they move in an anti-clockwise direction. Suprisngly landmasses can be responsible for changing the course of a current. Differences in temperature and salinity are also responsible for the movement of ocean water. In the equatorial region, ocean water gets more heated than in the cold polar regions. This makes the water “light”. Water in the polar regions is cold and heavy, so it sinks and flows towards the equator. The light upper layers of water are thus forced to move towards the poles where they get cooled. Some effects are winds blowing. Winds blowing over a warm current can become warm, and at the same time, pick up moisture, as warm winds are able to retain more moisture. Therefore, the wind that reaches the land brings down the temperature and can cause heavy rain. The western coast of Europe for example, is one. Winds blow cold and dry air. They help to bring down the temperatures in places, which would have been much hotter. The California current which is cold, which flows along the western coast of the U.S, makes the region much cooler than other places in the west coast on…

    Financial planning is the steps or goals used by a company to accomplish financial goals and prepare for future projects or investments. Starbucks has to have a very detailed financial plan in place especially when planning to expand internationally. When conducting business internationally there are some risk factors that do not apply when conducting domestic business. Starbucks has to first consider foreign exchange rates, political climates and events, and international trade laws are just a few. Another risk factor would be being able to trust the people you’re dealing with. Will the supplier be able to deliver the same quality product that your domestic businesses are supplying? When operating business in foreign countries a business wants to be sure that the product will remain the same quality especially when Starbucks is putting their name on the product. They expect the product to be the same as they have been producing domestically. Another thing to be considered by Starbucks is the environmental risks. Some companies have stricter laws pertaining to permits and document filing. It may be more difficult for Starbucks to get their plan approved in a foreign country. The final thing that needs to be considered is the financial risk. At one time, the U.S. dollar was king and traded favorably against all other currencies as the global reserve currency. “In recent years, the dollar has lost some of its ground to other currencies. If you own a U.S. company engaging in business overseas, the risk and expense involved in converting dollars to the local currency may fall on your shoulders where it once did not.” (Morello, 2013). Starbucks should consider operating in a country where they can bank with the same bank internationally as they bank with domestically.…
