Tevin Mccaskill Eng-114 D1 Mrs. Lofton Severe Drought 10 Oct 2012 In “Severe Drought Seen as Driving Cost of Food Up” (The New York Times‚ 25 July 2012)‚ Annie Lowrey and Ron Nixon explain that due to the drought which is caused by the amount of heat the U.S. experienced this year; the prices of food will increase based on the lack of crops being produced. The drought will cause an increase in groceries because the heat causes the production of crops to falter‚ leaving farmers with no way

known fact to the people residing in UK and other parts of Western Europe‚ that we experience very unpredictable seasons and weather‚ throughout the year. But‚ what’s circulating in air among people of UK is about the miserable “Wet Summers”; that we have face. It was very depressing to our climate and weather prediction agencies for being incapable of predicting accurate weather ahead”‚ said lead author of the study‚ Richard Hall. Fortunately‚ our scientists and researchers working at Sheffield University

Checking out the weather report is a daily activity for many of us. At the very least‚ we want to know how hot or cold it will get‚ or whether there will be rain or snow. Some of us live in places where severe weather can produce dangerous conditions -- flooding‚ tornados‚ blizzards or fogs‚ so we pay attention to weather related warnings. And these days‚ weather reports are getting more sophisticated‚ with pollen counts and particulates for allergy sufferers‚ and UV indices to tell you whether you

electric storms‚ hurricanes‚ blizzards and heat waves‚ just to name a few. Who would have thought that in beyond our atmosphere‚ in outer space‚ there is also weather occurring? It is true. Although the space weather does not occur in the ways in which most people‚ those that are not scientists or astronauts‚ would think of. Space weather is the “turbulent and dynamic” outputs from the Sun. These outputs can be in the form of light or particles that are electrically charged. Our magnetosphere

answer that describes the differences between weather and climate. Weather and Climate both take the same measuring elements of the environment and atmosphere (Temperature‚ humidity‚ pressure‚ wind speeds‚ precipitation‚ etc.). According to Sturman & Tapper (2006)‚ weather is “the state of the atmosphere at a particular point in time within a defined areas.” This in turn is opposed to Sturman & Tapper’s (2006) take on climate which is “the synthesis of weather observed over a period of many years.” As

help in the preparation of a seasonal weather forecast. Observed teleconnection patterns are beneficial in preparing seasonal weather forecast because they allow for long range forecasts. By leveraging the relationship between large-scale oceanic and atmospheric changes between specific areas and regions climate scientist are able to create relatively accurate long range predictions. These forecasts are not only important because they explain prevailing weather patterns but also because they provide

warming is believed to be responsible for numerous storms across the world intensifying. Global warming is believed to be causing more severe hurricanes‚ floods‚ and now monsoon season. As the temperatures across the globe continue to rise the intensity of the monsoon storms is continuing to build. If the temperatures continue to rise‚ the storms can become even more severe because they thrive off of hot temperatures. As the temperatures from global warming continue to cause the pressure that results in
