Why do we have seasons and how do they affect my life? We have seasons because the earth is tilted on its axis‚ as it makes its yearly journey around the sun. The Earth’s axis is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees. This means that the earth is always ‘pointing’ to one side as it goes around the sun. So‚ sometimes the sun is in the direction that the earth is pointing‚ but not at other times. The varying amount of sunlight around the earth‚ during the year‚ creates the seasons. We have hot

The two contain an "eye" which is the center of the destruction. They are very violent storms and produce intense low pressures. This is hard to believe but both tornadoes and hurricanes rotate clockwise in the southern hemisphere and rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. There are a ton of differences between tornadoes and hurricanes. One is that tornadoes form on land and hurricanes develop over warm‚ tropical waters. A tornado only lasts a few minutes while a hurricane can last

longest and the nights are shortest‚ with day-length decreasing as the season progresses after the solstice. The date of the beginning of summer varies according to climate‚ culture‚ and tradition‚ but when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere‚ and vice versa. School breaks Schools and universities typically have a summer break to take advantage of the warmer weather and longer days. In all countries‚ children are out of school during this time of year for summer

The major disasters being Tropical Cyclones and Droughts. A cyclone is a large-scale‚ atmospheric wind and pressure system characterized by low pressure at it’s centre and by circulating motion‚ counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. An example of a tropical cyclone is Australia’s deadliest one yet which occurred on the 4th of March 1899 when a cyclone hit a pearling fleet in Bathurst Bay and caused a massive storm surge accounting for 307 known fatalities

Analytical Summary of Climate Change Modeling Methodology Articles (NAME) (NAME OF SCHOOL) Abstract The present essay includes a synthesis of four research articles discussing climate change related to tropical cyclones through various climate modeling methods. More specifically‚ the articles examine whether the frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones‚ with subsequent global impact on climate‚ atmospheric carbon levels‚ and human population

migrate to South American locations during the winter times of the North. The birds migrate due to the changing climates due to season changes. When winter time in the Northern hemisphere‚ the birds migrate to the Southern Hemisphere being that it is warmer and summer time‚ the same rules apply when it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere. Barn Swallows find areas such as marshes and damp locations suitable. They use resources made available to them such as mud‚ sticks‚ and grass. Locations with a moist

ESSAY ON HURRICANES Hurricanes get their start over the warm tropical waters of the North Atlantic Ocean near the equator. Most hurricanes appear in late summer or early fall‚ when sea temperatures are at their highest. Hurricanes only form over really warm ocean water of 80°F or warmer. The atmosphere (the air) must cool off very quickly the higher you go. Also‚ the wind must be blowing in the same direction and at the same speed to force air upward from the ocean surface. Winds flow outward
