data of Istanbul for the purpose of obtaining the longest drought periods for different thresholds and the rainfall needed in these times. After that‚ these needed rainfall amounts with the rainfall in Big Melen River was compared. Finally‚ “Mann-Kendall Test” was applied on both of the cities’ stations to find out if there is a trend. As a result‚ by defining these data as a probability density function‚ the longest periods of the drought and the rainfall needed on these times were calculated.

The first reason colonist died in early jamestown was because of their poor health of malnutrition and the drought from 1607 to 1612. The second reason colonist died in early jamestown was because of their unhealthy environment due to their water being scarce the first four years‚ then later caused the water to become too salty and contaminated which caused

So when the lake water evaporates during dry periods the gypsum settles to the lakes bottom‚ memorializing that drought in the sediments. Having this record of gypsum helped the Land Use and Enviromental Change Institute‚ determine how far appart these droughts were. The geoloists of the University of Florida needed the climate conditions around Lake Chichancanab to help answer their questions about the Mayas decline. The May 2000 expedition

The mixture of these elements dictates what happens in a fire season. The 2015 fire season for the Shasta-Trinity and Six Rivers National Forests presented a challenging blend of these components.

The Dust Bowl was the name given to the Great Plains region devastated by drought in 1930s depression-ridden America. The 150‚000-square-mile area‚ encompassing the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles and neighboring sections of Kansas‚ Colorado‚ and New Mexico‚ has little rainfall‚ light soil‚ and high winds‚ a potentially destructive combination. When drought struck from 1934 to 1937‚ the soil lacked the stronger root system of grass as an anchor‚ so the winds easily picked up the loose topsoil and swirled

They were destined to die. In the early spring of 1607‚ the people of England sailed to the East Coast of Virginia. Sailing to the mouth of the Chesapeake bay‚ and working their way up the James River. The settlers came to the New World with expectations that were unbelievably high‚ and with a strong reason. Some can for gold‚ and riches. Some came to teach others the ways of Jesus Christ. Some came for a hidden trade route to China. Others may have hopes to be apart of the first permanent colonization

This drought was later called The Jamestown Drought‚ and it had severe effects on the Jamestown and the colony’s relations with the natives (Doc. B.). Most colonists did not farm and relied mostly on the Powhatans to trade food supplies. The drought lessened this vital trade. A drought brought crops that would have withered and died from the lack of rain essential to the plants. Another
